I worked with a bunch of Chinese software engineers and understood them fairly okay and I worked with a couple of Scottish mechanical engineers. I could never understand what they were saying They were asking you where your kilt was lol jk ummm usually they were tallking about thermo expansion coefficients and heat dissipation of hene lasers in a closed loop system It was a joke lol. Just incase you didn't realize some people might not understand what you are talking about when you talk about hene lasers in a closed loop sytem and thermo expansion coefficients. HeNe lasers are usually used in optics and consist of Helium and Neon, both of which are noble gases, meaning their outer shell contains a full orbital and they are hard to react (I am majoring in chemistry). Thermal (thermo is a quick form for us chemists) just describes how an object expands such as an atom, molecule, substance, etc when heat is applied to the medium. yeah the thing is in building a interferometer using a hene as a reference for the zero crossing point, the thermal load from the hene power source distorts the different components of the interferometer at different rates so the Scots had the brilliant idea of making a monolithic michelson so that the mounts and the mirrors and the lenses and beam splitters were all the same material and expanded proportionately. and instead of moving mirrors to modulate the wavefront they used a block of zinc selenide rocking on a hard drive motor to present a constantly variable pathlength to the beam but I still never understood a word they were saying except once in awhile they said "that's fookin brilliant" |

I understand what you are describing above, but it probably belongs in the science or technology thread. |

A woman with a French accent is hot. Most Brits sound good. Aussies sound like Brits, but they open their mouths wider. If that makes any sense. Italians are nice to listen too. But, Germans sound sort of I don't know. Spanish sounds almost like music to me. Japan is sort of cute coming from a woman. Almost sounds like baby talk. Same with many of the other Asian accents.
English speaking people from Africa sound cool. |

I was just replying to your comments the point of it was that Scots have an accent that I don't get as for realizing that most people dont understand all that. you'd be surprised how many here do |

Accents
![]() Favourites are definitely the Scottish around Aberdeen, the Irish in N.Ireland (I also worked with a guy from Cork who could read me my textbooks and make me happy ![]() I also met some South Africans and Australians. I love the way South Africans speak English because sometimes it's very pretty but Afrikaans is really harsh. Aussies are hilarious and totally crazy but they have a more similar tone to some Canadians. I used to get mistaken for Aussie all the time. But I cannot understand most Asians. I don't know why I just have a hard time. |

I like all accents. But my fav is totally Newfie! Why? It's so fun to listen to and most Newfoundlanders tend to be really nice.
...though I'm not Newfie when I moved to Vancouver people thought I was, some people were very rude too. |
