New Zealanders are the worst. There is one who teaches in another division of my company, the guy is teaching English when native English speakers can't even understand him. His students bleed over into my classes because he is just a lousy speaker, and thinks of himself as the English god. Another teacher that works for him is Kyrgyzstani, her English *with the Russian accent* is bar far better than his. And even even says mine, which is American, is horrible and incorrect. My students, and even some who are not my students, all say they prefer American English to Brit or other.

There are loads of different British accents so you're talking bollocks. Though just count yourself lucky they're not all speaking Welsh, seeing as it is based there. We are capable of watching US TV/films with the various mumbling, incoherent accents without complaining. ![]() The brit guttural accent is intentional, as the incoherent drivel cannot be heard while singing. |

I will not enjoy this show due to the guttural, gobbledygook brit accent. ![]() What I find hilarious is when the yanks need subtitles to watch English programmes. We can effortlessly understand your stupid simplified 'english for dummies' version you morons have created by butchering the mother tongue basically because you've stripped any intelligence out of it - is it any wonder you can't understand your betters!? As for zakubandit's amusing comments about students learning english preferring American accents: I'm guessing because yanks speak english in a simplistically slow and retarded manner - of course they're going to prefer it! ![]() In the UK, for example, people with a Birmingham accent are most easily understood by english learners because they speak in a truly slow and retarded manner, and are correspondingly the butts of accent jokes about thick people in this country... ![]() I just love how you guys are so thick, you actually think it's a virtue! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

BTW, Torchwood series 3 generally rocked...
![]() Obviously being Welsh written and directed, with a largely Welsh cast and mostly set it Cardiff helps... ![]() Just as well we fixed Roald Dahl Plass in time for last weekend's International Food and Drink Festival... ![]() On air on BBC America on the 20th July, if you yanks are interested. |
