No we’re all crisis actors paid for by the German government to scare countries to stay in the EU.

I know it’s a joke but if you’re Scottish and you work with southern English cunts, this is true

The unfortunate part is that their home accent is Welsh.

So do they speak American at home?

It could be worse, imagine having to do a New Jersey accent all the time.

Why did this let me instantly do a British accent?

Dear @FierroGamer, I must inform you that your message is in English. This means you can type English, although I don’t know if you can speak the language or not.

I must inform you that speaking and writing are different verbs

Non-native speaker, perhaps?

Is there a reason why New Zealanders, despite being Commonwealth and British derived, sound more like Americans than the Australians who are next door?
SangriaFerret@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The “british” accent as we think of it has evolved greatly since the colonial era. I’m not a linguist but I’d suggest the similarities you hear between Kiwi and American accents are things that were ubiquitous at one time then other English speakers lost them along way.
gmtom@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You think Kiwis sound American? What are you smoking?
stringere@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Because American English and New Zealand (and Australia) all derived from British English, obviously, but have drifted less than the accents in Britain. US, NZ, and AUS all drifted differently but the three may still be closer to the British English from the time their colonies were established.

As an American, whenever I try to do an English accent it ends up as Australian. That one is much easier. Even the affectations feel easier to do.
Royal_Bitch_Pudding@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I suspect that’s cause you’re going for a Cockney accent.
lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 9 months ago
I honestly find a South London accent the easiest to do

So do British people actually pronounce the other 1/2 of the alphabet that they normally don’t when they are home?! It’s pretty funny how much they butcher the language they invented.
