- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Now this is just a feeling, not a fact.
When I watch British talk shows, I have way less of a problem understanding i. e. Scottish accents than the American guests.
I think, foreign language learners of English might be better at understanding different accents, because they're not locked into one. Or maybe I'm a special little boy idk
Perhaps you should seek a Geordie shipbuilder and see how that goes.
(Really wanted to write an example of Geordie here for the funs, but I can't do it justice in text. Would have been fun. But really gotta hear it.).
And that kinda works for almost any strong/broad regional accent... Brummie and Sheltie spring to my mind the most. Or for an example from across the pond, I love a thick Boston ("Southie") accent. "Bastin". Hehehe. Brummie's almost like the Boston accent of Britain. Sheltie's like Elvin or something fantastical.
That makes sense to me.
