It truly annoys the hell outta me! How many of you other people can say they speak English natively and are from the UK? I may be Scottish with just as an incomprehensible accent as the Americans among us to you foreigners, but at least I can say mines is better, and without making the T's in better into D's! I fail to see how "american" can be generalized into its own accent. Do you have a microphone on your computer? I'd just like to see you TRY to emulate THE American accent. Within the space of two cities, one will hear two uniquely distinct accents. Take New York and Boston: Neither are particularilly distanced from the other, but both have radically different accents. My point is thus; if you feel like bashing american accents, then at least specify which ones in particular irritate you. (I know for a fact that most midwesterners don't butcher their D's or their T's. Sorry.) PS- "mines"? It is reprehensible to no small degree* to butcher the language like that in a lingual discussion. -_- (Motrax, take note- "small degree" fares better in a conversation than "little bit" unless the latter is required by virtue of avoiding redundancy.) -------------------- We're all amazed but not amused By all the things that you said you'd do. You're much concerned but not involved by Decisions that are made by you But we are sick and tired of hearing your song, Telling us how you are going to change right from wrong, 'Cause if you really want to hear our views, You haven't done nothin'.

This is what I love. You can and will whinge at people for failing to distinguish between an accent from London and an accent from Colchester, and yet the idea of people on opposite ends of half a continent having different accents from one another is simply inconcievable to you And for your information, at least most of us don't eat our Rs and shorten all of our As. Very unsexy. [ Monday, October 27, 2003 05:17: Message edited by: Saishuu Heiki Custer ] -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00
