Ok, heres the scoop; My oh so wonderful girlfriend is from New Zealand. Every time she says anything ending with the letters (na) along with another word she adds an (er) at the end of it. Example: Bananer and Orange or antenner and pole. She tells me that she spells it the same way as we do in the states but claims it has to do with her accent. Does anyone else thinks this sounds right?

My friend who also is from NZ does the same thing.

you all have never been down south? Thems folks talk reel funny. Accents are indicative of where ones from. In california we say warsh the clothes not wash the close. Go figure. In Jersey City they say yoos guys. I hear dif accents all the time. It's very common. I like it. It's cute and fun.

Kennedy and his New England accent used to call that country "Cuber". I have heard "bananer"

ha, I've heard it before... My ex's family used to call oranges an "oinge" and said things like "gararge" instead of garage. Just depends on where you're from, I guess.
