What accent?
All of them
Yes.
As I’ve explained to my Irish colleagues many many times - you’re the one with the accent!
Dublin Northsider has entered the chat.
I’m an American who spent a lot of time in the north of England. If anything it gets even worse.
It’s more of an out loud thing
…well? Do they?
Aww shucks pardner. You got me, dag nabbit. Yee ha.
Akchually, the United Kingdom has a wide variety of accents and no single “British accent” exists.
Nah, the moment they don’t think anyone’s listening, they all sound identical to John Wayne. Yes, the women and children too. Especially the children.
It’s not an accent. We’re the only people in the world without an accent. In fact, I’m the only person in the world without an accent.
Americans are the ones without accents.
- Depends on your definition of “accent” (yes, really). Is an accent a deviation from standard/dictionary, or is standard/dictionary also an accent?
- Assuming standard isn’t accent, depends on the zone/individual. We all know about Brooklyn and Southern drawl and Minnesotan, etc.
- Assuming standard isn’t accent, Americans have less accent than other English-speakers, but more accent than you’d think. For example, Americans say “budder” instead of “butter”.
If you didn’t almost certainly have a gun on you right now, you’d be in for it mister.
There’s a different accent every 50 or so miles.
Along with a new word for bread roll.
And a new cake, pudding, pie or cheese named after the nearest town
Pfft, 50 miles? I can tell which town most of the people in my area are from by their accent.
No they speak French.
