<Why don't you listen to Her Majesty's Christmas message this year? I'm sure your wife will understand The Queen.>

One would hope so, as she is addressing herself to the Commonwealth.

Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".

So, milky, did you find Her Majesty's accent easy to understand? Do you think anyone who is proficient in English would have trouble understanding Her Majesty?

As said, is it really the accent, or the slow pace that makes it easier to inderstand? My mother speaks with a Lancashire accent and, when she speaks slowly, everyone can understand her.
