Stealthbomber Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Do an australian accent and, if anybody asks, tell em it's a British one. No American will be able to tell the difference. Link to post Share on other sites
Desolation mkII Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 If I woke up with a foreign accent, I would just talk in an English/northern one. Link to post Share on other sites

Schultz98 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Do an australian accent and, if anybody asks, tell em it's a British one. No American will be able to tell the difference. woah.. Some of us are ignorant but most of us aren't that dumb. I'd maybe I'm just one of few kids my age that aren't totally mental. Id love to speak with a different accent for a day using other nations terminology Link to post Share on other sites
Tarnish Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 But it generally goes that everyone in Colorado is devoid of any accent. To another person from Colorado yes that would be the case. My girlfriend insists that her dad doesn't have an accent but he has a very distinctive Hampshire accent when I listen to him (I'm from over the "border" in Wiltshire), she just can't hear it because she is so used to it.

Ahaa well I guess what we have is a middle plains accent. Its basically the least accented of any accent and newscasters in America strive to imitate it because of the general clarity of it. So yes I talk like a newscaster, deep enthralling voice... Any is anyone fammiliar with Neg's urban sports... Call me ignorant but is that an auzzie accent or an english? I'm leaning towards english.

w733commando Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 When I went to America everyone thought that I was Australian, which is weird. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 People either think I'm Canadian or cornish, When I enunciate people think I'm from Oxford or similar. These are all odd ascertations since I am Scottish. Link to post Share on other sites
mower Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Bloody hell in about fifteen seconds I could think of at least twenty two different British accents and about nineteen of those were from England alone! There is no one "British" accent no more than there is one American or even one Australian accent! Yanks, ya gotta love 'em and their quaint view of the United Kingdom! crikey thats true as true aint it mate! Are you kidding. We used to love aussie culture! We know the difference between a brit and an ozzie. we have culture now? and i swear to the next person that quotes crocodile dundee i will hunt you down, pin you to the ground and tear out your eyes with my spoon...

tr1gg3r_h4ppy Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 UPDATE After one day of the challenge, my jaw is killing me, my mouth screams for a break but yet, I must push onwards. My parents are going to kill me, they claim that British Accents are up there with forks on plates and nails on chalkboard. I was convincing enough apparently. Got the comment "Are you from England?" "Oh my gawwwd British Accents are hot!!" That's what walking around Southlands in 22 degree weather will get you especially with general ignorance around here. One girl asked me where I was from, and to keep with the bet, I said "I'm from... Hampden which is a small town west of London," Hampden also happens to be a minorly important street in Denver. They ate it up. Link to post Share on other sites
