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."

That still doesn't make it an "American" phenomenon. Maybe it's an
inherited trait in her family.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has it, and he is a very successful
environmental attorney -- and radio broadcaster.
