(kudos for Paul Ogata inspiring this thread by using the phrase "radio puker people" about how they sound).
I had two visitors last week who were both from the Great Lakes area and their voices hurt my ears. If either one of them talked for too long, it was a struggle to hear what they had to say, because the pitch of their voices (and horrors, their laughter) was killing me. These were nice, genuinely warm and humble people. Great senses of humor. But I would have traded my kingdom to hook them up to Stephen Hawking's voice box.
what about you? What accents get in the way of communicating?
