Why do they call this island "England" and the people on it "English" when they butcher the damn language?
Literally a leaf.
(you)
I'm sorry I couldn't quite understand you, are you speaking French?
Gr8 b8.
Could of taken you for an Amertard.
All I see is Wessex, Mercia and that disgusting place known as Northumbria.
American cultural imperialism has butchered the language along with afro-caribbean slang from the inner-cities. I'm amazed people are even trying to defend it. Have any of you heard young teens talk nowadays? It's a combination of American and immigrant-speak. And it's no wonder, even our technology comes with American English as standard. Which pisses me off no end. A hungarian's computer with come with Hungarian, so why do ours come in American? It should be a rule or law of some kind that computers should arrive in English (Americans actually have the audacity to call it British English) in order to preserve the language and culture, which, by the way, is dying a rapid death. Does anybody below the age of 40 even use the word 'fortnight' anymore? No. They say two weeks. It's fortnight as in FOURTEEN-NIGHTS. Honestly you lot need to get a grip. We're like totally fucked you know what I mean bro?

Actually, the "English" accent that is closest to what it was around the 1600s is probably the accent of people in the New England and New York areas due to non-mingaling of most races and stagnantation of no-change in most regions. I.e. whites-whites, blacks-blacks, etc.

What is the purpose of having such a word? In what situation will you need to say fourteen nights so quickly that it is warranted to condense it into one word. If I want to say "free range egg" I don't get to say frangegg or something retarded like that. And you complain about us butchering your language?
>>74315979
With the exception of hoose instead of howse (for the word house), the Midwestern standard American accent that I have is a lot like Canadian English. Maybe the English that went to live in the New World only left because they spoke English correctly and got tired of the retards they left in England that pronounce things all wrong.
>>74315979
No problem, English is pretty messed up language anyway. We should all be speaking Yiddish and German imho.
>>74316284
Nah you're talking through your arse mate fuck off.

With that logic the blacks should still be talking in obongo.

Here's one example. A magazine is published every two weeks. Person A:"How frequently is the magazine published?" Person B:"Fortnightly" American A:"uhh... like every two weeks man"
>>74316407
Why say "are" when you can say tuches!
>>74316506
They should still talk in Obongo, I live in Queens, New York, and let me tell you whenever me and my Caucasian friends comes across one of these individuals we pander whether they need help or not.
Even though it sounds strange, OP is right. The "Hollywood" accent, the one you hear on tv, is the most clear accent in the English language. Lots of words spoken in an English accent are mispronounced.

>>74316999
Dude, your people would understand my people faster than my people would understand yours. Because we have a "clean" accent. Our accent is redefined and not based on past trends of bending syllables and tones in words, its English spoken the way it was meant to be spoken.

This. Brits seriously think that the English language has sounded like Cockney gibberish since the beginning. It's like 50 years from now on, everyone will be speaking in a nigger accent, and everyone will think thats the real accent.

Not An Argument
>>74317215
This isn't necessarily true. Reading 19th century dialogue will show you that. Listening to the accent in the 20's likewise. I'm from Berkshire and whilst some of us maintain our natural accent for the most part, it's true that we no longer roll our "R"'s anymore. Something that was fairly common of those born in the victorian era.
Most of our young posh folk tend to talk with a disgusting transatlantic accent, thanks to the impure American dialgue they've grown accustomed to. It's a disgusting blend of english, irish and continental. That's what you lot speak.
People think Queen's English is harder to understand that it actually is because they hear it being spoken in English tv shows which have bad sound production and whose actors frequently mumble.
>leaf talking about butchering the language
>>74318180
again, you didn't "invent" the language, you just developed it for a little bit until people spread elsewhere, Australia and the Americas etc...
>>74318287
It's only "disgusting" to you because we don't sing our words, we speak them.
>>74318358
English was first spoken in England, from there it spread out. It was first spoken on british soil therefore we invented it so fuck up and stop projecting shite.
>>74315979
to be fair we're the country that uses "tire centre". it's fucking dumb as shit.
>>74318593

You're an idiot. English evolved partially out of the Germanic languages. No one just "started" talking in English. Languages evolve.

It just shows how brainwashed you all are to think that American is actually representative of how English should be written and spoken. Honestly, it's only because of the CIA and the military that you're able to claim that. One day your shitstain of a continent will suffer an irreversable collapse and the world will finally be able to get back to having its own cultural diversity and focus on who we really are as opposed to what America tries to make us. Besides, you're Canadian, stop bending over for those cunts, they make you look bad to the rest of us.

People in Georgia sound almost Australian, I'd swear to Kek that half of the UK's criminals were sent there. Weirds me out every time I go there.
>>74318981

Jesus Christ, you sure ran out of arguments didn't you?
>>74318981
when that happens you'll no longer be a majority in your country
to be ethnically british will equate to having brown skin and speaking arabic
>>74319239
The accents that evolved in America are a combination of the immigrants' accent that arrived there. Accents in Britain are obviously the correct way of speaking English because they're a combination of the locals accent i.e English people.
If you reread, I said you're brainwashed. I then said the CIA and the military enable you to think that. Two seperate statements, both of which are true.
>>74319143
Georgia was originally a debtor's prison colony just as Australia was a criminal prison colony.
But I read some (actually serious) linguistic research that concluded that the American Southern accent happened because a lot of the time the white southern kids would be taken care of by house negroes. Therefore, as they learned to talk, they would get some of the African accent into their own, creating a new accent of a mixture of regular English accent with African accent.

>>74315236
First good post by a Brit in a long time, american has been heavily negrofied last few decades and has become absolutely disgusting to hear.
>>74319833
So could care less is making more sense out of a phrase that is supposed to mean you can't possibly care less?
>>74320547
"Could care less" sounds less harsh than "Couldn't care less", thats why it's said that way. Which is exactly my point, the Britis want English to sound nice, when the Americans speak English the way it's meant to be spoken.
>>74320850

How witty and original of you
As a brit, the only way you can differentiate between a Canadian accent and an American accent is that one sounds a little less retarded.
