We kind of invented it. so if we want to define words in it, we will, and that will then automatically be correct. Problem? Invent your own language then.

…I don’t understand this need and/or want to make a huge deal about who has an accent or not. People who don’t live in America (and yes I said America because I live there and most Americans refer to the United States of America as America so shush) will have a voice that sounds like it has an accent to the American ear. Likewise, I’m sure that no matter what country you’re from outside of the U.S., we probably have accents to you, too. Does it really matter on what location your accent happens to be? An accent is an accent and identifies you to another person in a different country as foreign.

  5. ivekissedthelips said: You make some cogent points but your attitude sucks. If you would really like to split hairs by the by, it’s the continent of North America, not the “contenant” of America. There are two Americas, oh illiterate one.

  19. elizadactyl said: You’re a cunt. We spell things differently. Get over it. And I don’t know what idiots you’ve met but English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish accents are completely different, and Americans CAN tell the difference. You’re not better than anybody.

    You can spell Colloquialism but...can’t spell continent?
  21. your-worshipfulness said: I’m sorry but is there a need to waste your breath over this? Stick to your own culture, beliefs, accents, whatever, and save it. Don’t disrespect another country. You both have no right.
  22. talesosity said: “America” is not a continent. If you are going to try and correct someone on trivial things like what is considered British and what have you, at least get your facts straight. I hope this discussion won’t go on much longer. >_>

  32. typhoontempest said: Oh jesus christ, I cannot believe you people actually care about this. There are variants of the British accent (English, Welsh, Scottish) and there are variants of the American accent (New York, Midwestern, Southern).
  33. fidei-avi said: … FOR GOODNESS SAKES, EVERYONE HAS SOME KIND OF ACCENT. THIS ARGUMENT IS NOW ANNOYING. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN JARGON. I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR ACCENT IS. I’M JUST SATISFIED PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO USE COMMAS AND SEMI-COLONS CORRECTLY.
  34. perpetualparadisiac said: I appreciate what was trying to be said but…That shit there was just a fuck-up of the language there. I’m betting the American who wrote the damn thing is probably pissing themselves laughing right now -__-
