  • @konfuchsia then fuck other accents, it is pretty stupid that you have to use 1 accent by which to judge all other accents; doesn`t say much about a person`s intelligence

  • @JamesGod08 We aren't British and we don't need to learn Queens English.

  • @JamesGod08 fuck the empire

  • This is embarrassing and disrespectful to the empire. New Zealanders are British, and are supposed to sound British. Take a stand against modern decadence and learn Queens English. FACK the Kiwi accent!

  • @tiki2188 the kiwi accent is the measure by which all other accents are judged. no matter how bad they may think they sound at least they don't sound like a kiwi.

  • i used to have a hard time distinguishing the kiwi and aussie accent but now i can:)-the kiwi accent sounds more english than the aussie accent

  • @kirbsnz Wow.Interesting.

  • i only came for the cute girl in the snapshot

  • But kiwi slangs are still very hard for me... :'(

  • When kiwis speak properly they sound Australian
