  • This bugs me. There is no such thing as a 'British' accent. Britain is made up of 4 countries each with their own distinct accents(England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). What you are doing is an English accent. Know the difference. Get it right.

  • @showerscene0207 You are a hypocrite if you think that way.

    Saying there is no British accent because there is more then one and they sound different would also apply to each individual country you named.

    There would be no such thing as an English accent either since there is more then one and they sound different.

  • @danthemanfresno2006 All I'm saying is that British refers to a group of countries each with distinctive accents. So different that you can't sum them up under one accent.

    You make the arguement refering to different accents within one country, and I will concede that to an extent. However, these tend to be for the most part smaller variations upon geographic location that without being overly picky about it could be put under one umbrella accent.

  • @showerscene0207 I have heard English people that think as you do about British accents say there is no such thing as an English accent either.They don't want one name to apply to the many accents from England.

    I disagree with them and with you.One British accent by itself is still a British accent.Just like one English accent by itself is still a English accent.The title has the word accent and not accents.

  • Oh come on guys n gals,give the guy a break here.

  • We do have tea and crumpets!

  • Usually if I do this I make the women sound incredibly passive aggressive and the men very authoritative and confrontational.

    Take the humans in warcraft 2,

    The footman (associates with upper class/fancies himself a tough guy): "Yes sire? Yes! YES?!?!? Yes my lord."

    The knight (basically passive aggressive and knows he's tough. His voice booms.): "Your orders, majesty. Yes my lord. We move. Onward to victory!"

    Maybe, bad example? Ah well, play old games sometime.

  • you drifted into Irish there for a while, fiddle dee dee
