My Step-father is Scottish (Glaswegian) so he uses the term kirk for church.
My husband is Sicilian, and didn't learn English 'til he came to Australia just before he turned 20. He has us in stitches regularly....one of his best ones is "it's raining cats and pigs out there"...he finds English strange and can never understand why we spell the way we do.
I was born in county Devon (England), and my Father's family are farming folk.....my Mother who is from Surrey could barely understand them when they had family gatherings.
It's been great reading this post...I have learned a lot!
