While still standing firmly behind my "people are idiots" statement, in good conscience I have to add something: some people don't hear sound differences very well. This can be due to a physical impairment (genetic, congenital, caused by an illness, accident or aging, etc., a learning disability or a language barrier.

I had an intern that could not tell that she said words diffently or with different inflection than everyone else because she has an auditory learning disabilty. We only learned about her disability because we asked her why she pronounced certain words with a non-regional accent.
