  • Last time I checked, I'm English and therefore speak English with an actual English accent. You're the moron here. Accents are about pronunciation, which is what this video concerns, and dialects are the different ways in which people use words, such as an American dialect using the word "sidewalk" as opposed to English dialect using the word "pavement". Now go back and repeat 4th grade before you make anymore stupid comments.

  • talk like this in new york, your gonna get stabbed.
