EP030: Aliens Love Oranges (http://escapepod.org/2005/12/01/ep030-aliens-love-oranges/)
By Sue Burke (http://patchword.com/sueburke/).
Read by Mur Lafferty (of Geek Fu Action Grip (http://www.geekfuactiongrip.com/)).
"They do talk wrong,” she whispered. “They say ‘aboot’ instead of ‘about’ and ‘proh-gress’ instead of ‘prah-gress.’ It’s like they can’t almost speak English right.”
“That’s how you tell,” Lois said. “Aliens can’t figure out how to say the letter O. Have y’all ever heard a body talk like that?”
Rated G. Contains mild provinicialism, non-explicit discussion of sexual preferene, and screwdrivers. (The kind with vodka.)

"It’s like they can’t almost speak English right."
Haha, this line had me rolling!
This story was okay. It was charming but not as fantastical as I'd like.
