   My ex-husband […] looks like a (better looking than average) Glasgowian which isn't surprising since he's half Scot. Long brown hair, a widow's peak, very rich green eyes, 42" chest and a 30" waist. Just put a kilt on him and give him a telephone pole to toss.

   My point was just that although (at least younger) Finns in general speak excellent English, there is a distinctive Finnish way of speaking English, not marked by any notable grammatical idiosyncrasies, or tell-tale mispronunciations, but rather by certain peculiarities of intonation, stress, and so on. I have been told that the English spoken by Finns (fluent in English) is often more readily understood by other^([sic]) -- more so than that of, say, a Glasgowian.

   The London to Pompey intercity trains on my line were filled with drunken Glasgowian squaddies fretting in case there wouldn't be any dagoes left for them to kill by the time they got to the Falklands. That, too, was mass hysteria.
