Do you know...I vigorously debated myself over the question of strawberries v. raspberries. No, really. And, more obviously, the question of cognac v. merlot. I'm odd that way: Sometimes caught up in the intricate details that others might care less about. Raspberries are my preference, as well. I could even hear the sweet tasty sound of "raspberries" rolling from the sonorous English tongue.
But, being the caring, sharing woman I am, I decided that perhaps more women statistically prefer and eat strawberries and would, thus, enjoy that food item over the other. Ergo my decision to sacrifice my raspberries for someone else's strawberries. I should have gone for the gold and listed both, but I didn't wish to appear greedy.

Good grief! I cannot believe I actually listened to that. LOLOL The things I subject myself to in the name of curiosity and fun. Thank you, Matt. **giggle**

'Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English)

Well, it is fabulous that you are willing to sacrifice your own pleasures for the greater good.
The only question left is how do you role your r's?

Our accents very much vary according to where we come from. Hit me back if you'd like to hear my voice.

Yawkshaw!
Had a girlfriend who loved my mum's accent. Thought it sounded so 'posh'. Had to explain to her that my mum was a fisherman's daughter from Hull. or 'ull as it is said back 'ome. And that it was about the least 'posh' accent you could get.
The only time a working class accented English person say the letter 'H" is when saying the letter "Haitch". Those of us with nasal Yankee accents say 'aitch' when saying the letter 'H".
Is RP a native accent for some region or do you or your parents have to learn it? Only part of my accent I retain is subdued a 't' at times.

Think it varies more than that I think, dropping the H is common in cockney (and clearly Hull as well) but not universally working class. Don't think it is a feature of west country accents for example.
I might be wrong about that.

I am indeed. Picture me as Jack Black in School of Rock, or Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society, or Robert Donat in Goodbye, Mr Chips.
It wont be accurate but it might momentarily amuse.

Bodice. There's a good word. You can roll it around your mouth as you wonder how to take it off.

Very nice, Matt.
Especially the 'butter'. Now, if you could just say 'pleasure' over and over, I'm sure you would get more PMs.

There's a GWA challenge like that Elizabeth... You just need to nudge him in the right direction...

Thank you.
Although, I've listened back to it and I can't see anything particularly interesting/exciting/unusual about how I say 'butter'... what am I missing?
Pleasure... how many times and is that an actual request?

I may be out of touch here, but not sure what GWA means...
Gingers With Attitude?
Great Welsh Airlines?
Good With Aubergines?

It's words that end in an 'r' sound that do it. They just sound incredibly sexy.
No request, just a note from a personal experience.
It made me melt, perhaps you would also get lucky with it. 
Okay, yes, I've been drinking. It is the fourth after all. I hope that was coherent.
