On the other hand, leave the
brogue to the Irish. Trust me-
they will appreciate it!

Several people I know of like to
speak with a slight brogue here in
the states. They think it's
funny. I'd like to strangle 'em.
I've been to Ireland several times,
I've kept many of the witicisms that
my Dad and Aunt passed down to me.

Sean Connery always sounds like Sean Connery, wither he's playing an Englishman,American,Arab or a person in the future.

For some very odd reason the Irish and English use extra 'u's? I may be wrong, but isn't the clue in the word 'English'? For some very odd reason, the English can claim the language, so I think the extra U, no matter how odd, can be deemed correct.
And I wouldn't say 'eejit' is harsher than 'idiot'. If it is, I've been unintentionally insulting to many people.

A brogue is a shoe, not a way of speaking. It is a pejorative reference to the Irish accent. The Irish seem to ignore many of the pejoratives directed at them; we must have very thick skins. This may explain we so many of us are politicians!
