I have said it before that every English-speaker in the world should be taught the international dialect of English, ie, Hollywood English. I can understand virtually every foreign accent of English in the world, but I have exceeding difficulties with the British accents. BTW, it's interesting that with Brexit, only Ireland is left to hold the candle for English in the EU. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
