      I actually wish I was from Iceland. I know I'm close, in that they are kind of neighbours but it's so different. Yay Bjork!

      Although, kind of curious that the two most populous countries in the world didn't make the list, as well.

        =D Bjork!
        I think I may be the only American I know who pronounces her name right.

          I have to admit, I only use an approximation of the Icelandic way. I do rhyme it with "work" rather than "cork" (as some people do). But I don't roll the R like you're suppose to and I don't put such emphasis on the K. It'd sound like I was trying too hard. :D

            Oh, I don't roll the R. That would sound ridiculous where I'm at. lol. I mean I pronounce it like "Byerk" and not like "Beeyerk" or "Beeyork". I hear she hates the way Americans pronounce it so I stopped.
            =)

              The English are no different. I hear "Byork" more often than "Byerk". I presume we're saying it right. I'm going off how she said her own name once.

              EDIT: Look at this! http://www.forvo.com/word/bj%C3%B6rk/#is

              That's my new favourite website! Millions of words pronounced in loads of different languages. I'm going to stalk that site for years! :D

                =D I love it!
                I just looked up "tomato', I like the way jackabrams says it.

          She's really got something, hasn't she? And she once told a journalist here that if she doesn't have sex (a) within 10 minutes of waking up in the morning, and (b) at least four times a day, she gets violent.

          I'd offer to help you out, but I think she'd kill me!

        Hehe, like I said, I mean no offence to people from Iceland...I'm sure it's a lovely place...

        But yeah...I wouldn't name it as a top 10 for where I'd think people were from. Meh. It's funny.

        Oh, and thanks for the comment, made me come back and remember I didn't actually vote in the poll. Blah.
