Worst culprit is words like 'like'. Have noticed that you have very strong verbal diphthongs in your accent and can understand the confusion, but hell, as long as we all understand each other what does it matter...

Sure the ref. understands exactly what you mean when you shout Dumbo or summat .. LOL
Ha ha ha, dumbo I think not!!! Think stronger gal

Yes you have hit the nail on the head with the coat and people love to pick up on the way I say it...but what's a girl to do eh?
