As a native English speaker may I be allowed to comment
on hard to understand English. We have allowed many of our overseas
territories to use our language. The results have been varied in the
extreme and range from complete butchery of the language to a reasonable
facsimile of proper English in other places. Nobody should be dismayed if
the English they learnt to speak at their mother's knee does not work in other
parts of the world. After all how many times do we misunderstand our wives
and we are both speaking English!! Scottish accents are accepted in
Britain but are no easier for native Britains to understand than their overseas
cousins.
