No I don't think so, we have to deal with a lot of annoying dialects ;-)
In that example it's not the pronunciation, "Kaiserslauten" is
just wrong. It's like saying "New Yok" or "Hong Kog".
- taneq 5y agoThat's precisely what I mean, though. If you're in the U.S. and someone asks you "where is New Yok?" you would have no issue knowing what they're talking about. The English languages gets so mangled so frequently by so many different nationalities that we're used to dealing with that sort of thing.
- jackewiehose 5y agoyes, I guess someone has just been very pedantic. Normally "Kaiserslauten" should be understood too.
- samatman 5y agoIronically, if someone says "New Yok", it's more likely that they're from New York! (this is usually spelled "New Yawk" when writing dialect)
