I'd say it's b/c you probably can't tell the difference in other places. There are many different Irish accents here, for example - and - like with you and MO, you can totally tell the difference if you're used it. For example, when Sasha came here from the Netherlands, she honestly believed everyone sounded the exact same. Now she's been here for 6 years she can't believe she ever thought that lol!! She also tells me you can tell different Dutch accents and I know there are different Australian ones too - so I think it definitely depends on where you're attuned to.
Yeah, Australian ones are different too. Melbourne has the nicest accent *isn't bias in the least* ;p
Cockney accent stands out a mile, usually. Heh. Oh, and you didn't butcher any names! O.o *pets you*
If my memory worked, I'd love to be a linguist :D But, sadly, I can barely master English let alone other languages lol!!
