The Visigoths invaded Rome

becomes:

Eastern Germanic themed peoples were observed to cross the aforementioned "boundary" (for a socio-econometric definition of "boundary", see Franklin et al "The boundary in socio-econometric contexts", 1986") of the Latinate agricultural hegemony colloquially donated 'The Late Western Roman Empire'. Note the word 'empire' has come under criticism as an unrelativised term applied with insouciance in post-colonial textual contexts.

forgot how much I missed that stuff.

As a lot of Irish people think the Irish accent comes from the Irish language, so logically, it will be ok to talk with no attention to consonant contrasts that don't have any meaningful distinction in the person's head and so can't for the target language. Simply put, even if you had all the sounds of Irish in your English, both languages would make use of the sounds differently

Yep, and that's what confuses people. They don't seem to realize that they can and should be used differently, not just with one language's phonology. I've actually seen this a lot with people learning French, where they don't get the correct <r> (note: I'm American), or even with Spanish, where they don't use the flap for their single <r>. Not because they can't make it, but because they think it's the same.
