Correct English??

One would expect that, I have a slight Liverpool accent now from years of living amongst them.

That's true actually, 'er indoors picked up an Aussie accent when we lived there. Every sentence ended with an upward inflection as if it was a question or she was unsure what she said was correct.

e.g. "I'm going to the beach?"

Slight? Whatever accent you have sounded on the heavy side to me.:p:D

Pots and kettles come to mind. :D

How's Kate? Shane Hazel was asking as we haven't heard for a while.

I don't even want to mention the difference between inner-city New Jersey accents and Southern USA accents. Talk about different languages!

In some areas, Earl isn't a man's name or a title of minor royalty. It is a petroleum product. "I got to put some earl in the crankcase."

In some areas, wedges have nothing to do with small purchases of cheese. It is part of an interrogatory phrase, such as "Wedges wait up for?" (Meaning 'why did you wait...')

And noting that some people referred to the series CHiPs earlier with their Kawasaki motorcycles... why ANYONE could bear up to Eric Estrada's New Jersey accent even though he's supposed to be a southern California cop... Sheesh!

Sorry Brian, didn't see this until this morning. She's ok. She can't stand or walk now and she has had to start taking pain pills (but hates them) and she spends a large amount of time in her bed, but that spirit of her's is still not broken. She still laughs, jokes, pokes fun of us. She really does a lot from her bed. Kate is very creative and artistic, so last night she was painting a girl in rain gear on a piece of fabric that is going to framed and given to one of her long time friends, all while laying on her back. She's a pretty incredible young lady.

Thanks for asking, be sure to past it on to Ms. Hazel and let her know we are hoping all is well with her.

I think you should buy this car, Mike or I think you should buy this car Mike

Or

Mike, I think you should buy this car.

So in general, does the name come at the start or the end of the sentence or a both correct or both wrong?

Correct sentences are the first and the third. The second sentence does not have any sense or life. The noun or name always starts with the first capital letter. The name comes at the beginning followed with a comma, or if it's placed at the end, the comma will be placed before the name.
