Your claim about "American creaky voice English" was exposed as a lie
months ago.

Let me remind you of what Donna Richoux had to say on the subject:

"I'm glad Ruud did find these sound clips, because now I feel I know the
particular 'creak' effect he means. I've heard it all my life -- heck,
I'm related to people who talk like that -- and don't find it in any way
shocking and objectionable. It's barely noticeable to me, and it's sort
of friendly."

Ekkehard
