# That's a bit better.
In reality, lots of Americans have difficulties differentiating between Great Britain, The British Isles, The United Kingdom etc... but then so do many Britons.

# yeah
try getting any kind of insurance if you`re in that part of the UK called Norn Irn

why don`t they stop insuring people in Leeds or Manc-chester?

# I have no idea what your message says
because I stopped when I got to Norn Irn. I remembered that it is the best word ever because when you say it, you sound like you are from there. It's like the whole "beer can" thing all over again!

Only nothing like it.

Also, if you want to sound Irish, change all your "ow" (as in "cow") sounds to "i" (as in "pie") sounds. Then say "How now brown cow" ("Hi nigh brine kye"). Hey presto! Instant-Irish-o'Matic.

On a mac it's kinda mush easier ... the various accents are alt-ed under their most common letter, in this case it's u.
