That would be relevant if the people in the video were in fact American

We just copy/pasted the YouTube url into the message. You can preview your post to check and make sure it works.

The point was; that there are many different dialects of english throughout the world, which can cause confusion in ones ability to get a point across. And the sound of how the words are pronounced seem strange to others, especially when the words do not sound the way they are spelled.

e.g. My wife, Filipina, speaks english but she has great difficulty understanding someone from parts London.

Ok. So my understanding is that I have to sign up for a youtube account if I want to post a video here?
I have posted this question in the tech support thread but received no answer so far.

Sorry MarkJ - I tried to post a Hello video

Yep! you have to register with youtube and follow all their rules, which they are pretty strict on copyright.

There are other video sites too, like google, but not as big or popular. CF doesn't have enough space in their system to start carring videos. As it is CF will only accept 400 KB pictures.

Thanks, Delmarrey! I just got that information from Janet. I will go ahead and register with Youtube so I can add video here

[clausont]

Ok, finally have it! Thanks Delmarrey, Janet and others who helped me figure out how to post video. Yes, you need to have a Youtube account (or one of a select few others I understand).

We love sailing, although we may never be in a position to be able to go cruising. We are planning a trip up the coast to Puget Sound next spring. That will be a lot of fun! The kids just loved the trip down the coast last fall (Sept 2008) and are looking forward to going north again.
These are not much, but without further rambling:

Hope nobody minds one last "Say Hello" video. It's nice and short. The kids are saying "Hi!"

YouTube - Somewhere Off the Coast of Oregon or Washington

Four girls and one boy. On this trip, we only had the three oldest girls - 12, 9 and 6. The two littlest ones (four and two) stayed home with mama.
