I dated a girl who was the exact same way. Would need an interpreter. I wonder if for certain people they just cant grasp it. Many word are pronounced differently and if you throw British slang in and the listener doesnt know any that can add another level of difficulty.

Although can someone please tell me what is the correct North American pronounciation for 'water'. Last time I was in the US, my friends had to keep translating 'water' for me to the waitress. By the end of my trip, it was just easier to ask for root beer.
