I do apologise to anyone if they found it offensive, I am a big Gerry fan , it was just something i'd noticed about him, .. Chill out guys

And I know you didnt mean it in a nasty way, but look at the comments that follow. -This is why I am saying its not a good idea to open awhole thread,, about how someone looks, or speaks, because even if you mean it in a nice way, it justs opens an oportunity for ignorant bullies, to slate him and make derogatory comments. You can make a comment about gerrys prononciation, inanother thread about gerry, that way people dont take it a s an opportunioty to extend their prejudices using your thread

I only answered your post with my opinion and the fact that you can't speak Greek with anywhere near the fluency, he can speak English, "deal with it"

Oh I forgot to take that tracey banner down. It was when she was up against charley, because I really didnt want to go. But in general, I like her!

Thanks for that, I would have been offended if people laughed at him or at all the foreign people speaking in english with an accent because I am french and I have an accent.

People don't need to speal fluent Greek in order to know why he does have an accent, it's stupid. You can see properly he has one, it's not complicated.

Why are you telling me? I already understand it. Different languages have different pronunciations that are hard to get out of. Spanish for example pronounce most J's as H's and C's as 'Th'.

You try to explain it to some and they still just think it's an impediment. They'd know if they were Greek. That's how I knew she couldn't speak it.

i dont think ALL Greek people say "C" instead of She .. its more to do with Gerry's lip shape

.. i think Richard and Judy should do a survey on this on tomorrows R & J show .. line up 6 random Greek people , and get them to say "SHE" !! ... I for one would be very interested to hear the results.

A lot do though, when speaking English, so as I said you'd no doubt know this if you were a Greek native.

OMG, what are you saying man! Youre dgging a hole. Cut your loses and let it go, you dont know how prejudice that sounds. Let it go!

I'm well on the way to my target of over 2 thousand reply posts!!

i knew this subject would be a massive hit

( what does Gerry say when he wants to Shuuusssssh someone)??

[Rocko]

Oh, right...that 'C' word. Thought it was about c u next tuesday.

[Lauren]

It's not to do with his "lip shape"... the Greek language has no 'sh' sounds, and so he finds it difficult to pronounce it - without feeding your controversial ego, thats racism. Cut it out.
