I find not understanding other English speakers weird. A thick Irish/Glaswegian/Yorkshire accent is hard work, but your average Californian or Canadian or Kiwi etc. all speak 99% the same words. Even when people from Melbourne make things up like 'nature strip' you still work out what they're saying. It's not like speaking to a German or something who uses a different syntax.
