Like listening to Skype conversation with the alliance and they all have British accents. Forever I will think that British people are really... really weird.
You-Chube... sounds so Japanese. Must be why all my Japanese textbooks from high school was made in Australia.

I imagine learning English as a second language would be mind boggling. Nothing really makes any sort of logical sense, seeing as it's borrowed so much vocabulary from other languages and because of that the spelling is all over the place.
And then there's the whole pronunciation thing. There is no "standard" English pronunciation of ANYthing. I can't imagine trying to learn it after having another language system embedded. Native speakers should know better, though.
