who speaks the best english besides the british?

Washington State Residents speak the most fluid and proper english! My old drama teacher said so.

 

I was joking french people speak english really bad (including me )

 

Oh, strange, all the people I ever met in France spoke English really well

 

In fact when a french one wants to speak english he really involves himself in it. But most of French speak... french

 

I did notice that, yes!

 

Oh come on ya'll, everyone knows us Texans speak the best english... ain't no lie neither!

:cheers2:

 

Hahaha! That was funny. Tell us another :tongue:

 

Interesting idea that the English speak the best English- I am not so sure. Possibly Scandanavians and the Dutch.

 

If you count a lot of the regional accents, then that's definitely true, grammatically many English people have a very poor grasp of the language. However language and grammar is constantly evolving and there's a fair argument to be made for the standard RP OED English being just one competing dialect amongst many....

 

Chickens.

but only when there's no one there!! :willy_nilly:

 

sure but what about the fish??

 

They didnt seem to talk much at all. I did think how rude it was

 

I'd say the Irish.
No, seriously!

I had this mate Paddy.
No, seriously!

He talked so fast no one could understand him. So as a laugh I recorded him talking and played it back at 70% speed.
He sounded like Connery in his 007 years!
It was so freaky I had to destroy the tape. Well, maybe not had to.... but things were going that way anyway.

 

it's well known that french fish are very rude.

 

Seriously?!!

 

Seriously!

 

As an Australian that travelled through most of the UK, I am convinced that Australians speak better English than most brits, particularly more so than weegies and geordies.

 

Well yes, but comparing Australians to Geordies is like comparing Gary Glitter and Jimmy Saville. One may be slightly less insane than the other but frankly you wouldn't trust either of them with your kids.

Same goes for Cornish / West Country, Liverpudlians, Mancunians, Brummies, Northerners and the Welsh.

 

lol...I so wish that was true.

 

SLOW DOWN THERE FELLA OUR THERE WIL B 'ELL TO PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
