I've lived in different parts of the country, and I've always adopted the local speaking patterns of wherever I've lived. It doesn't mean I'm a "tool"; it means I'm human.
You seriously believe that this thread deserves a well thought out, logical argument? The bickering comes naturally to some, they simply do not have a life. Remember the accent "problem" with Obama when he was able to say "Pakistan" as opposed to "Packistan"? Or, "Iraq" as opposed to "eye-rack"? Yes, these would be the same folks from the same boat that is still stuck in the mud.

It is completely contrived, manufactured phoniness by the master of fraud.

So, trying to have a conversation with people if it is in a language/accent they would understand is being phoney? A few years ago, I had a programmer from India who quoted 100K records as one lakh. He would have been a phoney to speak it in the terms I expected of him in America?

Nothing could make this guy endearing - he's spent too much time being vengeful, spiteful, nasty, narcissistic and phony.
