This reminds me of an MTV documentary I saw on the band�Oasis. The band is from
Manchester, England, and for whatever�reason, whenever any of them spoke,
they subtitled their speech.�They didn't do this for any other British
speakers, either from�their dialect group or elsewhere. It
seemed...peculiar.��-David�*******************************************************************�"sunly
