      Yes lol. Loved that. And TBH it is impressive at the age of Four to know you need to change your pronunciation a bit and do it.

    If you're wondering about the Northern Ireland accent, note that a common pronunciation for Northern Ireland sounds like "Norn-Iron". The accent is strong - I'm from Dublin, and once had trouble understanding a guy from Derry asking me the time (years ago, before universal smartphone use) - he resorted to pointing at my watch, and then when I told him the time, he couldn't understand me, so I resorted to showing him my watch. Derry and Dublin are about 140 miles apart...

      When I started college myself and one of my classmates could not understand one another for the first 6 weeks. We always had to repeat ourselves when talking to one another. Every conversation took twice as long as it should. He's from Donegal and I'm from Wexford, opposite ends of the country.

      @@eileenobrien9265 As a person from the US South I had problems conversing with some of my colleagues from Great Britain when they visited. Aside from using different terms for things (auto park for parking lot) we could not understand each other’s accents. We were basically speaking the same language but not comprehending at all. I did better once I was in England. I think I needed to be immersed in the environment for a couple of days before I began to understand.
      The different terminology did not make life easier. When visiting England in the mid 1990’s, I commented to a male colleague that the women did not wear pants. He was appalled and exclaimed “They most certainly do!” I pointed at the ladies on the street who were all wearing skirts and dresses. He then comprehended I was talking about “trousers” and not what Americans call “panties.”
      At a convention that was held to promote better communication between the American and British organizations, we nearly had an international incident when the visiting British upper management were told that they were going to be taught how to “shag” as a fun get-to-know each other exercise. In our part of the South, shag is a popular dance specific to our region. This predated the movie The Spy Who Shagged Me and the Americans had no idea what the term shag meant in Britain. When the American manager told the Brits that they were going to teach them how to shag, the Americans were told in no uncertain terms by a senior Brit manager that the Brits did not need Americans teaching them how to shag!!! Loud laughter resulted when the term was interpreted for the Americans!

      The problem lies with the Northern Irish accent for mirror sounds like myrrh. I moved from NI to England for university and the amount of times I've had problems with the English not understanding me when I have said mirror is hilarious.
      I really struggle to pronounce mirror like the English, so when they ask me what a meeeor is I end up repeating meeeor and they remain perplexed. When I desperately try to use an English accent it come across as if I'm mocking people with a speech impediment. I usually fall back on describing it as the thing you see your reflection in.

    I don't know about the rest of youse but to me
    myrrh = mur
    and
    mirror = meer-ur
    So "mur" was perfectly correct.
    Before you go & tell me that mirror is pronounced 'mur' in NI, I already know that.

      Where he was from it sounded the same as mirror. He didn't actually pronounce it wrong from my perception. The Frankenstein kid, however...

      Someone from Northern Ireland would pronounce myrrh and mirror almost identically, whereas someone from England would pronounce mirror as mirr-ah, a Scot would say mirr-ur, etc.

    Norton watchers if you die today will you go to heaven? Have you ever lied, stolen, hated, used God's name as a curse word (O-M-G)? According to God's law, you're guilty, your headed for hell, ignorance will not be an excuse... But wait, God loves you, he made a way out for you, God's son Jesus died paying for your sin. God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Love Y'all

    Whoopie, Get a grip girl….Every now and then dress up and look glam. Stop schlubbing around in those horrible retro outfits. Enough is enough.
