If you're Irish,
does everyone else in the world sound like they have a terrible, grating accent?

Not at all...

Is that a racist compliment?
Mr Freepens is not Irish nor is he a native English speaker (How terribly PC of me). However, I am Irish and I think his accent is lovely. I am bias, though. It is not only his accent that I think is lovely.

some people seem to have missed the point,
which is, since Irish accents sound lovely to everyone else, and presumably just sound normal to Irish people, then does that mean everyone else's accent would sound horrible.

If my mate Kyle was anything to go by then no, Irish accents don't sound 'normal' to other Irish people, they sound just as lovely as they do to the rest of us - when he heard one it was like he took a hit of some sort of Guinness-catnip-ecstasy-spanish fly kinda substance.

Or perhaps - if I can't understand a word a Glaswegian says,
Can they understand anything anyone else says...

Ape...
You've been on B3ta for how long? And you're still explaining your posts to people. That's what I love about the site.

Are you a racist, by the way?

Oh no, we don't discriminate, but we do prefer our own
Certain local accents only though, Northern men can jump into any girls bed of their choosing, Southern people however, erm....

are an acquired taste?
