Something they started when I was like 1 or so. They heard someone say it to their little kid when he was tired. So when I yawned later on the day they said the same thing to me in that accent. Kinda stuck with me. But I don't mind at all. Never have lol
Well it's pronounced a little different in Dutch then it is in English. Same as my real name. My ex was english (well he still is, but you get what I mean XD) and he has never even once said my name right, no matter how many times I tried to teach him.
Weird thing was that he had no trouble whatsoever with saying the "G" the way we do, cos he lived in Spain for a few years and it's the same as their "J".
And trying to say stuff in foreign languages is funny =]
Epic Fail! I barley passed my French class my Freshman year. Last year I made a "B" though....so I guess I am getting better...or at least better at fooling the teacher.
I can speak English with an english accent just fine, but somehow I don't like doing it. So for my oral exam I had to force myself to speak like that. Got be a 8/10 though (we have numbers, not letters =D)
like the French? Sweetzy they have a 20 scale. But us dumb Americans had to go all 100-ified. Not to mention we use letters. I am a "A" for absolutely idiotic.
Imo, most American parents are too focussed on their kids getting A's for everything. I'll be happy as long as my kids will pass (just like my parents were).
Sorry if that is offensive. Who wants to call their offspring Bert? 
Bert would never stick with me.
