Although, after listening to Miss South Carolina, I do know for a FACT it's possible for someone to be that stupid.

Soon you will need a translator, infidel, but not yet.

Actually, in some parts of London you might need a translator . . . someone who asks "'Ow's yer trouble?" would actually be enquiring about your wife, and many Americans would make a very different connection than cigarette smoking if they heard someone was ". . . sucking a fag . . . "
Especially if they asked whether your wife is a smoker.

I actually like some of the slang, but the accents themselves just...annoy me?
But I absolutely love Monty Python and other British comedy. Not all accents are equal...it's just a few people I've heard talking that annoy me.

You're a fruitcake. Most British accents are downright lovely. Gov-nah.
Yea well, I didn't say all.Or maybe I did but that was spur of the moment.
Regardless, you're a twit.

The British accent is extremely diverse, there is massive variation over quite small areas. Lots are really annoying.

He was in the National Honor Society at the University of Florida.
I think he knows what language is spoken in London.

Maybe he was just joking. AJ Dual couldn't possibly be that stupid.

Well, our Wyoming only has 500,000 people living there.
That makes it infinitely superior.

Some of their accents may be pleasing, but I fink cockneys sound retarded.

You're right, it's his high school in Atlanta. http://www.miamidolphins.com/newsite/team/roster/playerBio.asp?docid=18150 As his own official Dolphin's bio attests.
And not joking, nor stupid, just forgetful.
I can't remember what the equivalents are called in College. Even more embarrassing, I was in it due to my 3.8 I maintained my freshman year at the University of Wisconsin. Don't worry, it went downhill for me fast from there. Maybe that explains things. (Ahhh yes, Phi Eta Sigma& Google is my friend.)
IIRC reading up on this, (I need to find a credible cite) he maintained a 3.5 at the U of FL, granted that might be a "football program 3.5". However, I still say he's pulling the press' legs big time here.
And besides, even if you are the stereotypical sub-literate idiot athlete, how could you not watch 20 odd years of TV and movies and not know London is in England, and English is spoken there? People going into brain-lock when confronted by Jay Leno and a camera don't count.
It just does not pass the smell test.
