Got this forwarded on to me today, I rather like it. Dunno who it's by, of course.
Hints on english pronunciation for foreigners
I take it you already know
of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead-it's said like bed, not bead.
For goodness sake, don't call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat.
They rhyme with suite and straight and debt.
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother,
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for pear and bear.
And then there's dose and rose and lose
Just look them up--and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward.
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go, then thwart and cart.
Come, come I've hardly made a start.
A dreadful language? Man alive,
I'd mastered it when I was five!

I am not sure loving chocolate is necessarily a Romanian thing, says Cloud a huge lover of chocolate. I mean, look at the Swiss.
Then again, I am not exactly sure of my origin, my grandfather was adopted when he was a baby, so who knows where he originated from. Maybe I have Moldavian ancestors as well. *shrugs* It would explain the love of chocolate.
Although, I am told my last name is more German in origin.
Originally posted by clouddancer Although, I am told my last name is more German in origin.We have Germanic population in the northern part of the country.
I can tell you that my mum's 100% from Nottinghamshire, my dad's father was born in Ayrshire in Scotland and us Scottish Russells branch (I'm not Scottish by birth though) came orignally from Normady. Did you know that the word Norman meant Norseman as in Viking.
My dad's mother's father came from Newtown in Wales and my dad's mother's mother came from the West Midlands.
Because of the invasions of the Romans and the Angles, Saxons and Juntes, who came from what is now Germany, god only know's what other nationalities I am from.

I only found them in Canada at those European delicatessens and bakeries that had imported candies. Also at Marks & Spencer's, but of course they aren't in Canada anymore.
In the US I've found them at Beverages & More. I don't know if that chain has expanded into Canada.

Alas we will never be quiet that insane enough to sit with these people and ask them in person what the heck they created that bucket of bolts for.

I think the real reason was that they wanted to cash in on the Star Wars craze.
But something went horribly wrong.
Horribly, horribly wrong. 
Its a pity we cant all sue them for the mental trauma we all suffered.
Originally posted by Transmute JunYup, I do have a sexy accent! And I use to stress the "r" How did you figured it out!Originally posted by amyltrer Also my "R" pronunciation is verry stressed and sounds very much like a russian accent. Native English speakers I've talked through headphones before asked me if I know Russian too!Ooh... I can just imagine you saying "Egobosslerrrrrr.... or Errrrrrun...." in a sexing rolling R. I'm sure Blue Boy would be very impressed!
