| You have my condolences.
However, as a boahn and raised Montanahn, Ah don't think Ah quaht
undahstahnd youah problem.
Montanahns don't stick in extra 'r's, though. [We just grind out the
ones that are they-ahr already.] Maybe the r's are the root of your
pain?

| Thanks for analysing the problem, Bonnie, but I'm told I have a cute
arse, or perhaps it was acute r's.

| It is not surprising, if not how could you tell 'a' from 'u', south
of Watford ?
Reminds me of my brother's game (he lives in Redhill, but he's working
on it) :
Where do you come from ?
Surrey ...
No need to apologise ..........

It always suprises me that people who talk with one accent sing
with another. Eg, southern English folks singing with flat A's.
Strange.

^^^^^^^^
You mean we're out of tune?
I suspect you mean in popular music here - this is heavily influenced
by Americans (sigh). Strangely, the singer in Marillion ("Fish")
sings with a pronounced southern English accent but speaks broad
Glaswegian (I think it's Glaswegian).

| How would you sing without Ab? Transpose everything to G#?

| And then there are those English chaps who sing Scottish or Irish
songs in the appropriate accents, like I do, or Ewan MacColl who
is scottish, speaks with an RP-ish accent (if such a thing is possible)
and sings with all kinds of accents.
But he doesn't have long aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!

a G, but not quite G#. So ...
My flat's A flat's flat.
