as one of my daily visited sites.. its mostly how the japanese mangle english, but it does include some other groups..
and in our family, names are a problem. my B-I-L family name is tsuyuki. ts is similar, not the same sound as S--but unless raised hearing it, its hard for you to distingish and say.. so my sister mangles her own name..
my B-I-L has the same problem with Reilly--(which sometimes comes out of his mouth as Leary) the R's and L's doing him in!
generally, B-I-L's english is very good.. but occationally he does mess up.. once talking about a project (he's an architect) he commented on the new special windows being used.. they had brine right in the window.. we were puzzling over how or why you'd want to use brine as an insulating material, and wondering if it wouldn't distort the views, and didn't it freeze--when he clarifed..
