I was never so aware of how heavy an American accent is, until I spent
a month in Poland this summer.  As you might expect, there are few Americans.
After several weeks of this sensory deprivation, I was amazed to hear a group
of American students walking down the street behind me.  It might as well have
been "quaaack quaack quaack" as natural as it sounded then!
