What County/Area Struggles Most to Grasp the English Language?

JohnP199 · 06-01-2011 10:11PM #1

I was in Dublin for New Years Eve. I haven't been out there too often but it really did surprise me how much Dublin people seem to struggle to speak "proper" English. Have these people been educated? Do they know how to pronounce their words correctly? I know in the current climate this is a very trivial complaint to have but it was something that really did annoy me listening to the people talk that night.

So, is there any other County/Area in Ireland that struggles even more to grasp the English language?

Munster areas such as Cork/Limerick/Kerry. Half of them sound like they're just mumbling gibberish at an extreme pace.

Interesting response there.
What does this have to do with Dubs and English?

I think everybody speaks just as well as everybody else.

That as maybe, but evidently they don't type the best English.:rolleyes:
I find that you'll hear the very best and the very worst speakers of English in Ireland in Dublin, but the bad vastly outnumber the good.
