en 8 August 1993 Joan Shields chapeaux rec.arts.books https://web.archive.org/web/20260621075324/https://groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.books/c/qBxugiWAXp4/m/NWU81UPvjzEJ My ex-husband looks like a (better looking than average) Glasgowian which isn't surprising since he's half Scot. Long brown hair, a widow's peak, very rich green eyes, 42" chest and a 30" waist. Just put a kilt on him and give him a telephone pole to toss.

en 17 December 2010 Aatu Koskensilta English is easy to spell... alt.usage.english https://web.archive.org/web/20260621085759/https://groups.google.com/g/alt.usage.english/c/CVLJ0iUEV1Y/m/mfj16XiZWFgJ My point was just that although (at least younger) Finns in general speak excellent English, there is a distinctive Finnish way of speaking English, not marked by any notable grammatical idiosyncrasies, or tell-tale mispronunciations, but rather by certain peculiarities of intonation, stress, and so on. I have been told that the English spoken by Finns (fluent in English) is often more readily understood by other -- more so than that of, say, a Glasgowian.
