Accents

I agree!

 

I don’t know what words I say that are different because I think I speak normal lol

 

It is an amusing subject.
I have never been seen as having an accent, no doubt due to the fact that living on the London Surrey border I sound just like a BBC newsreader.
However, some people still see London as cockney, where "I am not wearing a hat" would sound more like "I aint got an at on me ed" LOL.

 

I have a St Helens accent ! same as Johnny Vegas

 

In my English, that would be. "I am not sure which of my words sound different, because I consider that I speak normally".
In reality, their must be thousands of ways that English is spoken throughout the world. Perhaps, along with regional accents it is all for the good, giving us all a sense of identity.

 

Man, those guys were having a great time!! Wish the fuck I could have understood any of it besides a few individual words, dammit. I remember that little Scottish guy in Mike Leighs movie--Naked.

 

Isn’t that more spelling grammar? I do suck at that lol

 

Hahaha! If I was with that guy I would be laughing the whole time.

 

So would you say that Canadians have an accent?

 

Every day I seem to discover that I am not completely in a UK minority. LOL.
Needless to say, like all Londoners, my UK geography is terrible. I have heard of St Helens in the channel islands, is their another St Helens in Cheshire.?

 

St Helens, Merseyside - Wikipedia

 

The only words that sound different to me that Canadians say, are words with the pronunciation- ow in them. Instead of about, I hear- a boat.

 

I have an American accent but I dont really have a regional accent. And being from the south some people act offended when they find out i'm from the south and dont have an accent lol

 

Their are thousands of accents. Probably the UK has more than any other English speaking country, Ireland is as bad, Jane can tell what town an Irish person comes from.

Canadians do have an accent, but I have no idea how much it varies across the country. If we spoke, I would be scratching my head and trying to work out whether you were from Canada, parts of America, New Zealand, or possibly South Africa.
Don't take too much notice of me though. When I was at school, I had an exam question on how many languages are spoken throughout the world. My answer was 2, English and foreign. LOL

Did you know that Wales and Ireland also have their own completely different language.
Here is my reply, translated into Welsh.

Mae eu miloedd o acenion. Mae'n debyg bod gan y DU fwy nag unrhyw wlad arall sy'n siarad Saesneg, mae Iwerddon mor ddrwg, gall Jane ddweud wrth ba dref y daw person Iwerddon.

Mae gan Ganadaidd agen, ond does gen i ddim syniad faint mae'n amrywio ar draws y wlad. Pe baem ni'n siarad, byddwn yn crafu fy mhen ac yn ceisio darganfod a oeddech o Canada, rhannau o America, Seland Newydd, neu o bosibl yn Ne Affrica.
Peidiwch â chymryd gormod o sylw imi er. Pan oeddwn yn yr ysgol, cefais gwestiwn arholiad ar faint o ieithoedd sy'n cael eu siarad ledled y byd. Fy ateb i oedd 2, Saesneg a thramor. LOL

Oeddech chi'n gwybod bod gan Gymru ac Iwerddon eu hiaith gwbl wahanol eu hunain hefyd.
Dyma fy ateb, wedi'i gyfieithu i'r Gymraeg.

 

Silly me.!!! LOL

 

Ha-ha. Their is nothing wrong with the way that you put it, but to me it would simply indicate that you are not local to my part of London. Regional grammar and accent often go hand in hand.
