Next time say "I", not "we", cause you are only talking for yourself. The channel is actually quite cool ;)

I've never thought of potatoes that way. Thanks for the laugh. (Yes, out loud.)

Now all you need is to live in Georgia or Alabama for 12 to 14 months to round it out and totally confuse anyone trying to guess where your're from.

Haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate.

Ah, I wouldn't worry about it. I've said some horrendously cranky things in comments, and "that's not me." Recently, I happened to see a video I'd commented on a month ago. I don't even remember typing that, and I thought, what, have I been hacked? Was I drunk? (I don't drink.) I guess I typed that gibberish. What was I thinking? I removed my own comment. Hee hee hee hee! It wasn't hateful or anything, it was just ... one of those reminders to "get a life" kinda thing, I guess! :)

[desertrose88]

maybe you are right.... i shouldn't be this harsh. if i were in his or her place i would feel bad. i feel like a stupid troll now. :(

[slobomotion]

Personally, I don't mind. I've found some good stuff that way, and if they hadn't mentioned it, I'd probably never have looked. That's just me, however ...

People who've lived in many places in the world often develop interesting accents. I'm not sure about hers, but I'm from Ohio, lived in NY, and am now in Paris -- the French cannot place my accent (some insist it's Irish) and most Americans think I may be British, because I listened to BBC radio for years in Europe and use some British terms without thinking about it. The one thing I don't care for myself is affected accents. What are they trying to prove, y'know?
