The British tabloid The Sun is having all sorts of fun with today's Oprah show featuring one Susan Boyle.
Apparently Boyle's Scottish accent was too thick for the audience and they had to subtitle her!
As you can imagine, The Sun's all outraged innocence exclaiming that "Every word had to be spelled out."
Producers might have had to spell out every word but the subtitles were dropped when Oprah interviewed Susan live by satellite.
hmm. Wonder what Oprah's show would do with someone from Kerry?!

Máirín 67: I certainly wouldn't call Americans stupid, but there are some glaring flaws in their usage of English. Here are a few examples: I "seen" instead of "saw"; shou;d "have "went" instead of "have gone"; Where is it "at"? ("at" being superfluous); a friend of "mine's" house - and many other phrases with erroneous grammar.

Oprah's audience is worldwide...so everyone watching got the subtitles not just the 'stupid' Americans. How narrow minded of the Brits.
