U.S.-U.K. "Special Relationship"
As the Fourth of July winds down and we remember the United States' Declaration of Independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1776, let's take a moment to consider how British accents sound to Americans and how American accents sound to the Brits.

I have to admit to turning on the closed captioning when watching Alan Titchmarsh's Ground Force in order to understand some of his crew.
ReplyDeleteLX: I haven’t watched “Ground Force” in ages but if his crew hails from the same place as Alan Titchmarsh, you’ll need to consult my Yorkshire-English dictionary.

DeleteThat was swurrrl. Poor Alison Becks, a girl in our class at school was forced to wear an elastic band around her wrist by the teacher and everytime she said something that sounded American, like 'yeah' instead of 'yes' she was forced to give herself a hard twang with it. I can hear the teacher now, telling her to stretch it, a bit more... MORE! It gave me a thrill like no other.
ReplyDeleteMITZI: I may use that elastic band idea every time one of you commits an infraction on the Banned By Infomaniac list.
DeleteStewth!

DeleteI, for one, would like to say, am embarrassed to no end when my fellow Americans beat their chests after and chant "USA, USA..." as if to believe that they are loyal to this country and proud of their nation. They are, usually and if fact, shit faced drunk and and fans of Toby Keith.
