This is self-evident, but it would have been impolite of us to be first to 
mention it. :-)

Being a southerner living and working in Yorkshire I suffer a plethora of 
misinterpretations in both vocabulary and phonetic pronunciation every day.
e.g.. the word 'bastard' - In Yorkshire  'bastad', southern 'barstard'.
'glass', Yorkshire 'glass', southern 'glarse'
even worse is the use of 'while' to mean 'until'.

And to cap it all, my email spell-checks in American and resists all attempts 
to educate it. :-)
