Those 'no good at English' Greeks will probably be able
to decide correctly and within 30 seconds of it
whether they are hearing an American or a Briton speak.

A final point, one time when I was doing ESL teacher-training in
Thessaloniki, I asked the lecture hall of 200 or so English language
teachers where they thought I was from: half said Texas and there was
a strong showing for southern England...and I was raised in upstate
New York.
