Maalus, in Some days are better than others

Inb4 tankies mentioning guilliotines and eating the rich

Malfeasant,

Too late.

Confused_Emus,

Yeah, definitely not just the tankies that think that.

Let’s be real here, we usually just stick all of them in a blender and pour ourselves one glass of perfectly mixed accent juice

tordarus,

This! My English accent is so all over the place, I can’t even spot the differences if I hear them. I can’t tell, If someone is British, American, Australian etc because I mix them up so much myself

Amends1782,

I’m quite found of accents myself, like that SS officer in the bar scene from Inglorious Basterds lol, would love to have a conversation and dissect it

I chose Russia (despite being born in Germany and not of Russian heritage). It just sounds more badass than a German accent.

Ain’t enough unique personalities for 8.1 billion people. We had to recycle a few

I don’t like those family channels that use their kids for views and money, like the toy unboxing video channels. The young kid doesn’t have a developed enough brain or enough education to make an informed decision, making it feel wrong to me. All they see is just sitting in front of a camera and playing, probably.

How about a dose of dark humour and travel talk?

USdefaultism of this post should be used in The International Bureau of Weights and Measures as the metrics for all other USdefaultisms.

Uncle_Bagel,

333 million Americans, 67 million Brits, 26 million Australians.

Nalivai,

1.4 billion Indians. So what?

JudahBenHur,

They’re talking about native English speakers. Did you really not get that? There are also a lot of Chinese people, try yelling that out of context, also.

Aceticon,

English is one of the official languages in India.

Even if only 1/10 of Indians grew up speaking it alongside Hindi or one of the other official languages (it’s a pretty big and varied country), it still adds up to 140 million people, so the previous poster has a valid point.

JudahBenHur,

sorry, I re-read your post this morning, I missed when you said “official languages” for some reason. I take your point

JudahBenHur,

this post is about native accents. choose an accent (from native accents), normal, fancy or wildcard.

positiveWHAT, in Also likes food!

The triple in my area is travel, training and wine. I get depressed by how few seems interesting.

applebusch,

What are they training for, their sommelier world tour?

positiveWHAT,

Just in case: training is mainly exercise in my language.

In order of appearance: wildcard, simplified, traditional.

Soggy,

Ironically, US English is in many ways more traditional than UK English. The US uses many words and phrases that used to be common to both continents but later changed in the UK.

US did try to de-French most spellings with mixed success.

kamen,

Yeah, but there’s still the tendency to simplify things (e.g. “color” vs “colour”) and the ever shortening of phrases as if it’s difficult to say the whole thing (“macaroni and cheese”).

Soggy,

Changing spellings to match pronunciation should happen more often, to ne honest. And I don’t think UK or Australian English get to throw any stones about shortening words and phrases, the US isn’t calling anything “spag bol”.

mtchristo, in You can choose normal, fancy, or wildcard.

Definitely not the Australian . my jaw will break and my vocal cords will wear out at an early age.

Snowplow8861,

Why did you train so badly?!

zyratoxx, in You can choose normal, fancy, or wildcard.
@zyratoxx@lemm.ee avatar

Why choose when you can just randomly mix them

Snowplow8861,

Just choose Australian. Tbh we don’t care how you say it just be loud.

Just call them prawns, that’s all we ask.

Oh boi, I’m too introverted to ever be loud

Think of it more as a whisper, just loud enough to be heard :')

Nationalise that bitch ass 8 year old and seize their wealth for the people 💪

Asafum,

“Listen up Timmy. The revolution is here for you, now are you going to be a good little comrade or will we have to educate you on proper non-wealth hoarding behavior?”

NateNate60, in Some days are better than others

Some people are just lucky. There’s nothing wrong about it. Maybe that person will be you someday. There’s no point in despairing over it, the only thing you can do is stop worrying about it and keep hoping.

ModsAreCopsACAB,

American dream illusion formula right there.

Coasting0942,

Someone needs to carve this into a clay tablet and bury it.

Omgarm, in Some days are better than others

Yeah but does that youtuber feel the satisfaction of the grind? I think not. What about all the chores you have to do just to live in the few hours after work? Suck it 8 year old.
