    man, i don't even know anymore. every time i take that damned test i get a different answer.

    you'd probably get a similar result if you polled all my mates. but i'm an unusual case...

    thing is, you'd expect all people from leeds or belfast or the same part of glasgow to get the same results on that test, as they'd pronounce things the same way. however, the markers are calibrated to an array of distinguishing american phonemes, so the distinction between the various pronunciations may be negligible to a british person, thus queering the results.

    is that gaycist to say queering like that?
