Your sicilian friends are in sicily? I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. Then how would they know it's spot on? I don't care who you are, if you are born in the US and speak sicilian, you're speaking it with an american accent and any sicilian (in sicily) can hear that american accent.

All this aside, if you read my previous posts, I wasn't saying his accent was bad. I said he used the WRONG pronoun.


edit: sorry, I see you were actually quoting Pizzaboy in your post (even though you didn't actually quote him). Then I guess my post more pertains to Pizzaboy. lol
