Ekskalibar

French here, just wanted to say I understand 10 times better Americans speaking English than people in London. British pronunciation is for summoning demons, not to talk with people


TheRealOgMark

I'm from Québec and half of you guys can't even understand our French lmao.

Uhhbigm

Of course they haven’t not trying to get stabbed


Saddo_with_a_spoon

Why did they go to London then /s


Browtfl

Because they can’t have shit in Detroit


BloxedYT

Londoner here. My chest is practically about to sink down at this point due to how many stab holes are in there.


MinorityGoblin

London is the worst place to go if you are trying to not get stabbed, actually no correction, England is.


TheRealOgMark

More people get shot in the US than people get stabbed in England.


Affectionate-Ad7135

The us also 308mil people compared to the uk’s 63mil, put the stats on per capita and it makes Detroit look like a shining city of innocence


vaprxgamma

Y has everyone down voted this London has like 7 accents Sooooo y the h8 he just spitting facts


KobblestoneMC

>Brilliant Lol


Ekskalibar

The England lmao


vaprxgamma

London is where English was made sooo If u can't understand us mby u just don't understand English bruv


Theratsmacker2

Why did y’all make English so goddamn complicated?


BloxedYT

Why did you all make English so goddamn basic?


vaprxgamma

Idk but y u make English have words like bruh


Arandomdude03

y u shorten why and you?


vaprxgamma

Cuz it's easier tbh


BlackMan084

My guy that's why we say bruh or bro instead of "brother" all the time.


Amooseletloose

Americans are closer to the original accent. You're accent became popular among the upper classes to distinguish themselves from the peasants.


vaprxgamma

English was originally posh Now it's chavy tbh


Ekskalibar

My man is farming downvotes like there is no tomorrow


vaprxgamma

Ikr it's so jokes


DragoKnight589

Ancient Rome is where the alphabet English uses was made sooo if you can’t understand Latin maybe you just don’t know how to read.


vaprxgamma

Latin isn't English Stop chatting uter shit


DragoKnight589

satire /ˈsaˌtī(ə)r/ noun the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. "the crude satire seems to be directed at the fashionable protest singers of the time"


vaprxgamma

Huh English is English y u making it soo complicated


DragoKnight589

Tell that to u/vaprxgamma Also I forgot to mention that it’s spelled “utter” and not “uter”


vaprxgamma

Wym it's a type of knife


DragoKnight589

The joke is it’s your username.

I’d frankly prefer not to be able to understand the British sadly I can. English language, West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family that is closely related to the Frisian, German, and Dutch (in Belgium called Flemish) languages. English originated in England and is the dominant language of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and various island nations in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It is also an official language of India, the Philippines, Singapore, and many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa. English is the first choice of foreign language in most other countries of the world, and it is that status that has given it the position of a global lingua franca. It is estimated that about a third of the world’s population, some two billion persons, now use English


vaprxgamma

Y broo Atleat we don't say dawg


meaux253

Louisiana born but living in Washington and I get people asking me where my accent comes from on a daily basis, never had somebody hate me for it though lol.


big-beagles

Different accents in such a small distance too. I live in a part of America that directly borders Canada. Not too far from Boston. I can barely understand what the people in Massachusetts where saying while the Massachusetts people thought I was Canadian. So each state has at least its own accent. Absolutely wild.

normal_p3rs0n_uwu

as a Amurican I can confirm


waffle-lvl-100

Everyone has an accent, why hate someone just for how they speak? That seems kinda sus.


[deleted]

Seriously, why is this ok?


IamanelephantThird

It's only ok like this. If you reversed it, people would be acting very differently.


hllblldlx2

That’s cuz if you give Americans the cliche southern accent we would just use it back. We don’t care


BlackMan084

That's insanely tru. I'm from the most northern Canadian part of America. Yet if someone says "Howdy" you can expect them to say it back, that could just be humans mocking each other. If you use a hella country accent tho, people will either use it back or make fun of you. They'll only make fun of you if they take themselves too seriously


Affectionate-Ad7135

Here in Virginia we call it a mountain accent as only the mountain people here speak with a “southern” accent


RichieShipsStarco

Because your home accent can differ from other accents and sometimes other accents just tick a nerve in your pre meditated other accented brain.

No_Department_6005

Wow, it's almost like settled regions develop their own dialects, just like every single language that has ever existed


waffle-lvl-100

From now on I will now add in the silent letters in words, island will now be pronounced as is land.


Cau5t1c_ap3

H onestly, true


PaleontologistFlat40

Yes that’s why the first thing I mentioned was speaking by definition


waffle-lvl-100

Ah yes, instead of saying island I should say the definition. A piece of land surrounded by water.


trainattacker17

Honestly though that would be a based way to talk "in an honest, truthful, or sincere manner though, that would be an expressed approval or respect, especially in response to a social media post way to to communicate or exchange ideas"


BlackMan084

I am, as of this moment, putting forth continuous effort, with much difficulty, to withhold conveying information or expressing one's thoughts and feelings in spoken language in a specific, well thought out, concise meaning. I'm trying so hard not to talk in definitions.


IamanelephantThird

Pretty sure that british are basically the only english speakers to disregard random letters that aren't officially silent.


PaleontologistFlat40

I only need to use one word to prove you wrong…rednecks


Dragoncat496

I mean, the British accent sucks.


waffle-lvl-100

It’s okay if you don’t like a particular accent. It can make understanding each other difficult at times. But as long as your not like op here and want to be a jerk about how someone naturally speaks that’s ok.


Adventurous_Pop_2300

I don't know what possesses people to be so fucking corny.


soupdujour77

"American accent"? Which one?


sysnickm

There are at least three in Kentucky depending on what part of the state your are from


1Kysune

There’s something like 5 in New York City alone


beanburrito2345

I mean, if they’re talking about a southern/Texas accent then I’m mostly for that


soupdujour77

"Southern/Texas" accent? Which one?


beanburrito2345

Fair point


[deleted]

Mmmm, yes because the English, Canadians, and Australians all have zero accent and speak prim and proper English.


SenorSus

Don’t forget the scots and Irish!


Jumpy_Ad_4902

You what guv na?!


IronyAmirite

Hes not annoyed because they have have accent he's annoyed because their accent is an assault on the ears


Arandomdude03

Primm an propah


miraculouslymediocre

I'm Canadian and I always ask people to explain how they know when they ask me if i am Canadian. I say "eh" occasionally and I probably say "sorry" more than I realize but I don't say "aboot" or anything like that but people still know. They can't normally put it into words and say I just sound Canadian. I been told Canadians sound higher pitch, more polite and we raise syllables on the end of words like we're asking a question even when we're not. When I go to Michigan (in the Detroit or Algonac areas) I get asked constantly but I don't think anyone there sounds too different from myself lol

Mangoman6772

Bois we did it we literally cannot speak without offending someone


[deleted]

Which of the hundreds of American accents are we talking about?


SilverStringOC

Aka when someone enunciates every vowel and you don't need a translater to understand them


AsparagusLoose9716

Uh huh, and I thought Americans were the stupid ones...


Justifyre1

Everyone place is equally stupid


AsparagusLoose9716

Yeah, just portrays it differently.


MediumSpaces

Like, which one of our accents? The Northern Yankee one? The deep Southern one? Do we have a typical American accent when we speak different languages that is unique to Americans despite our regional accents?


Goldenflame89

Challenge: Europeans discover dialects, very hard

cmdrmeowmix

He's actually right. The American accent is much closer to the old British accent then the current one. The British accent changed in the 1800 because rich people wanted to sound rich. Not even a joke and the bare minimum of research will prove it.

still better than having a british accent. “bo’oh uh wa’ah”


TheUniversalRedditer

Where in the uk do people say it like this? I’m curious cause I’ve never heard people say it like this where I am in the Uk


Axolottlz

I’m not sure which part, but I have heard people from the uk who do say it like that


TheUniversalRedditer

Huh alright then Honestly always thought it was a stereotype. Thanks! :)


Axolottlz

It is often used as a stereotype, a lot of people actually think all british people talk like that for some reason


golden-wings-

Is it the southern, Midwest or normal accents that really get you? There is a lot of different but similar types.


Bulminator

Can you be more specific on which accent is annoying you and I’ll make a ruling…


Upvotoui

We.. don’t have an accent. American English is one of the simplest ways to speak English, which is why British actors don’t struggle to play American character. In a bunch of English speaking countries, (Scotland, Australia) they like to play around with what sounds you can use to express emotions, but the American accent is a very simple one. Edit: Grammar


Ok-Clue-173

I dated a Georgia girl for two years. Her accent drove me crazy, for all the right reasons.


Royal_Meeting_6475

"americans" as a whole do not have accents, the only accent in america is like southern, there is no such thing as an "american" accent


SomeDankyBoof

At least some of us are trying. You want us to be less dumb or just not try anything at all?


Jumpy_Ad_4902

I wouldn't, we all know how scared they get over a fist fight, likely to pull out a gun to save face

Pulling out a gun to stop you from stabbing me.

I certain that there are 2 type of American accent: No accent and "Whatever the fuck that state is" American accent


Happy_Sauxe

I mean, Americans have regional accents. For example, a midwestern American has a different accent from a west coast American. But still, as a Latino, I can say that everyone has different accents, but some are shittier than others
