as someone who has worked abroad I am with the Diasporans on accents. its true! to us HEART, HURT, HAT, HUT all sound the same! some Americans would think you are talking about HOT. HEARD, HARD, HERD, HAD to us all sound the same and to outsiders they are not. COAT and COURT as well. so the accent we accuse them of having is actually the ability to learn how to communicate... WATER being pronounced as WARRRER. TWITTER as TWIRRA, BETTY as BERRRY e.t.c. so it happens.
The one thing that I don't support is the 'forgetting to speak' a local dialect or complaining on the 'stench' of us africans. Even us town folk get the same experience when we go upcountry. We get our grandparents and relatives who have a smoky odour or something else of they are cattle farmers. We don't complain. we hug them and enjoy. When it is required that you go to the loo and you find its a pit latrine located at a lonely corner of the shamba with offcuts used as walls (not to mention rays of sunlight that beam through the intersections). WE DON'T ZUSHA - we simply do our business and go!! When you are stuck in a matt from Nyandarua you get whiffs of all types of smells but olfactory fatigue steps in to sort you out! we don't complain! we understand that THIS IS KENYA!
