Schönes Schweizer-Englisch

By hannes @ 22:58 [ Academia ]
Yesterday, after the presentation I gave here at DERI about my favourite semantic project, Fresnel ([fʁɛ nɛl], s'il vous plaît), I had chat on (unsuccessful) entrepreneurship, Google, Stanford and stuff with (the great) Dr. Stefan. All of a sudden, (the great) Prof. Dr. Chris walks by, dropping a remark to me, like:
«Schönes Schweizer-Englisch sprichst!»
And rushed away, smiling. Oh. So der berühmte Herr Professor either made a nice flattering compliment or just tried to provoke quite a bit. I really have to go ask him, it`s bothering me. Can my accent be THAT BAD? :(
(now that's fishing for compliments ;))
