Phœnīcius Infīnius VII Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I love English accents. People either sound really intelligent or sophisticated(maybe even reasonable) or just stupid. For example English people can be hilarious. I have a friend on BO that lives in the UK so when I play with him we get matched with English people... ANd they're so serious about the game its funny! I mean they rage soooo easily! "f*** yay" instead of YOU. It seriously sounds like that! [u]Now. I mean NO offense to ANYONE. And I don't speak for EVERYONE.[/u] Tell me about your experiences with people that have their native accents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCyae Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I don't really have an real experience with native accents, because most people I talk to either have really faint accents or are Australian. But the thing I really hate is how everyone outside of Australia ASSUME we speak like Steve Irwin; "G'day mate. C'or, whata booty" Or whatever. We don't speak like that. I know I don't. Except by accident or intentional lulz. Then again, I sound like an American. So I can't really comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Βyakuya Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Foreign accents are funny sometimes. Not to be racist, but it's funny how they speak English with a poor accent XD. Since I hold on to my Asian ties, I have somewhat of an Asian accent. And proud of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowserpent Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have a lovely hick accent :U yes so if I go up to Boston, I am made fun of when they really sound weird. I like Jamaican accents. I can sound like a Jamaican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Account is Unplayable Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Excluding American accents is silly when not everyone's American. From my point of view, I dislike most non-english accents, most of them just annoy me. I also can't stand northern-english accents. Weaker American and Aussie accent I'm ok with, though, but if they're strong then I generally dislike them. Gotta love being shallow when it comes to what people sound like.

hexcalibrate Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 i find it funny that people think that the english have only 1 accent, every city in england has it's own accent, even the birds have a deeper pitch the higher north you go.

Jolta Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 My main accent, Singaporean accent. No, really, that accent influences the way we speak. Malaysians... have a different accent.

Smesh Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I have no accent that I'm aware of. I live in the south but I REFUSE to say y'all. My dad has a slight Mexican accent, but it's very small because he learned how to speak spanish when he was able to talk, and learned English around when he was five. And he's spoke both all his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I guess the typical "American" accent is considered to be "Next to no" accent because of the lack of inflections. f***ing love NZ accents. But I hate heavy black-american accents. The kind you find in the ghetto. No I am not racist =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would simply be a large generalization. I live in Eastern Massachusetts, one of the only areas in America with non-rhotic speech(Australian accents are very similar to Boston accents because we're both non-rhotic). I live relatively close to Boston, so I've ended up with a half-standard US half-standard Bostonian accent. In regard to Boston dialects that rubbed off on me, most of it is standard, but I have an awkwardly large amount of Brahmin influence that I don't really know how I obtained, since my ancestors were poor and Irish, not rich and English. Pure Brahmin sounds kind of weird. It's a cross between the quick-witted Bostonian and aristocratic Englishmen: [url]http://www.gazzaro.it/accents/sound/Boston(UClass2).mp3[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phœnīcius Infīnius VII Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Wow I didn't think this thread would get anything. I have sort of an Asian accent when I don't realize it. (That being I'm 50% Asian I'm sure) But I didn't think foreigners enjoyed Yugioh like we do so I assumed none were in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smear Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'm Australian. Which somehow people from the US get confused with British. I mean, sure we sound similar, but not that much.
