Accents Rule

I believe that’d be English (Venomous), unless there’s something I don’t know about the edibility of Aussies.

And as is tradition, New Zealand is forgotten.

Nah, you have learnt what is largely an overblown myth. The whole "American sounds more like Shakespeare's English than modern British English" is completely false, but it gets repeated ad nauseam by Americans on the internet.

We still have some rhotic accents. They don’t sound American though - just rhotic - like how Frasier’s non-rhotic accent doesn’t sound English.

Is it? I thought cigarettes are for killing the weak minded. I say that as someone that smoked and quit. Smoking tobacco kills. Marijuana on the other hand is a gift from the gods.

You ever hear a posh British man from the early-mid 1900’s talk?

So true. Definitely the most annoying thing about that accent (even more than the HAPPY vowel).

For real? Well now I gotta go find some clips!

Absolutely, a singular "British accent" is something that only Americans seem to think exists, and they usually mean RP (the posh accent found mostly in the south east of England).

Scotland, England, Wales, all part of Britain, and all have plenty of wildly different accents within them. Compare Geordie, West Country, Cockney, Scouse, and Brummie. Even the accents between Scotland's two main cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, are completely different.

So yeah, if someone says they love a "British accent" just respond in Glaswegian and see how they like it!

Haha, 100%

not when you support independence for scotland :3

No

British accent = what Americans think is a British accent...

i mean i was referring to the wording in the image in the original post; i know there's not one singuar british accent.

Arlarse this helmet lad

Perhaps things changed in the past 38+ years.

Or perhapa a show produced by the British goverment that presents {the deep state as a powerful undemocratic entity and kind-hearted people in politics as naive bumbling idiots that fail upwards because they unintentionally serve the deep state} at a time of Thatcher dismantling public services is in fact state propaganda, no less insidious for being genuinely funny and sharp-witted.

Perhaps even both.

The two that are in school (1zee 1zeh) are both delinquents. Not sure it makes a difference.

Bluey is popular, but none of them sound like they're from Brisbane. They mostly have a mid-Atlantic accent with vocabulary from both the UK and the states. Like they say chips and fries rather than crisps and chips, but also say nappies instead of diapers. And as previously stated when there's a pronunciation difference rather that a vocabulary difference there's usually a 50/50 split, but not the same division each time, so the same kid will say tomAYto as will say ZEHbra. And for a lot of things they just throw in a Norwegian phrase translated directly into English.

There's something in the water then, got it.

Not true. It came from the latin word alumina, or French alun, yet the British spelling maintains the "ium" suffix as with many other elements in the periodic table. The British spelling, which is the same in many other countries and widely accepted as the correct spelling, predates the American spelling. The Americans made a simplified version.
