Sweet Jesus.

In order to not make this thread completely useless, let's discuss accents.

Personally, I have the usual, rhotic accent found in most American suburbs. Like many American accents, it's also a little nasal.

I live in Bedford so I have a typical London accent some people say it's middle class but I disagree.

Anyway you yanks all seem to think all us English speak the same, well we don't. Lol a couple of weeks ago I was in Gt Yarmouth and some of the locals have the strangest accent I've ever heard it was hard understand some words. :D

My parents are from Warrington  Cheshire which is in between Manchester and Liverpool and is totaly differant, the main differance is there's no differance between deep u sounds so book sounds the same as buck, also putt and put also have the same pronunciation.

There's even a Wikipedia page on British English

Pathos:
lmao.

New Zealanders speak normally. :p

And sound nothing like australians. :mad:



I love british accents they sound cool.

--- Quote ---Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.
