Accents
Alright, I've just wondered, do you think that (us) Americans have accents? :tongue:
|
yes definately
|
I guess hearing people who don't talk like you sounds weird. Hah.
|
Yeahh, a real strong one.
The yankee accent, enough to drive enyone up the wall. :tongue: Only joking. :spin: |
Yeah, there are different accents like Southern or Yankee.
(like when people say Bawsten) |
Which part are you from Rory?
|
Georgia, but I don't have that southern accent.
|
yeah yeah.. i bet you do... the drawwwwwwwl... I have voice chatted with someone from Georgia, and he had a major drawl goin on! :thumbs:
|
i like american accents there cool and diffo
rory you better not think were all really posh and say splendid lol so Rory what is your favourite uk tv programe that they show in amercia |
^^ Meh, they don't really even play any UK program here. We get BBC America, but thats basically it. We get some same stuff from Endemol (Big Brother, Deal or No Deal) I see you guys take some ABC shows. (Lost, Desperate Housewives. Expect Grey's Anatomy next..that's a hit)
And no, I don't have that 'slow-thinker' voice. ^_^ I may have a bit of a southern accent, since I say "y'all". |
I think its cool!:laugh:
|
Our accents? I love British or Australian accents. =)
|
Which British one you ilke ebst?
Scottish/Irish/Welsh/English I love the Irish!! |
yeah, I like Irish the most.
1. Irish 2. English 3. Scottish 4. Welsh |
Scottish 2nd alst!! Shocking!!:blush2:
|
Or you could imagine it getting a Bronze medal. :)
|
sorry Rory but the American accent grates on me (nothing personal though):rolleyes:
|
Bronze!! I say silver
i say 1: Irish 2:Scottish 3:Welsh 3:English I get sick of the English accent as thats all you hear on British televesion |
I don't get sick of it, basically because I don't hear it often. :)
|
Exactly .. lol
|
I'd say:
1. Irish 2. English 3. Welsh 4. Scottish Sorry to the Scots of the forum! - it doesn't affect your personalities! Just personal preference! :blush2: |
In terms of American accents, I don't have the exposure to determine which accents are which, but I compare the softer accents rather than the brash, brittle accents, if you understand! :laugh:
|
I think that everyone sounds like an american while singing. :D
|
Yeah, a lot do - except for opera singers, who sound Italian! :hugesmile:

I think a lot of us over here think that we have more regional variants of accents in Britain.
I can think of Mancunian, Scouse, Yorkshire, Brummie, Cockney, Cornish, Welsh, Aberdonian, Glaswegian and so on. Can't think of as many American variations, but it might be that we aren't as used to them here so we don't notice the subtle differences. |
Irish by far BUT i can't rate them from1-4 because i love the geordie accent and the scouse of course :tongue: but i can't bare the cockney accent, and there both English so.... :spin2:
Ohhh and the Birmingham accent, pleaseee no. :sad: Cannot stand it. :laugh: |
I talk Glaswegian - not like a ned though
|
A Ned? Care to elaborate, Davie? I'm slightly bewildered! Hehe! :blush2:
|
A chav
|
Ah, makes more sense now! :laugh:
Good good, that makes it the best for all of us, you see if you were a Chav..... :shocked::rolleyes: (I shall leave you to finish the sentence! :laugh:) |
Lol
Glaswegian accent is known to be chavy - but everyone here tlks like it. But you the chavs - well you know what people are like when their own drugs etc .. I rest my case |
I agree completely! .... I think! :spin:
I don't really think I have an accent, just normal English accent. The only accent in the Lincs/Peterborough area seems to be a habit of dropping "t"s, which I can't stand, and so make sure I don't do it! :tongue: |
Lol.
|
:spin2: confused.
too many accents. :) |
ive got a hint of geordie in me according to princess :puzzled::bouncy:
|
whey aye man
|
lol scoobs. i like geordie one
|
Even down in the South-west there are more than one accents, Cornish, Devon, Plymothian, Bristolian, Somerset - the Somerset accent is the most "ooo aarrrr" i think
Dorset probably have there own one too but I wouldnt be able to recognise it unlike the others though. |
