No, sorry, but your accent sucks.

Stephen Hawking is British yet he talks with that silly fake American accent. What a poseur.

Hawking has a neuro-muscular dystrophy that is related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a condition that has progressed over the years and has left him almost completely paralysed.
Hence the necessary use of am artificial vocal aid.

Swedes trying to speak Swedish. But to be honest their horrible lack of mastery of the language itself is even worse. I'm ashamed of my country. Kudos to the Swedes who don't suck.

Would you care to elaborate on this? Because I'm not sure if you're trying to say certain local dialects aren't "proper swedish", or if you're inferring people in general have a lacking vocabulary.

Some people seem to feel the need to inject english expressions into their language. This is something that irks me quite a lot, and you can even find it on the radio or the tv. Examples are things like "fucka upp", "sanning eller bullshit", etc. Stop raping my ears, damn it!

 

[Mr.Squishy]

Any stereotyped or "wrong" accent. I'm looking at all those phony irish, german and russian accents in particular. Oh, and fake cockney accents, or what people call "british accent". The only person to do that one well that I've heard is Jason Statham.

Hearing the british version of many words annoys me like mad. (Yes, I realize the reverse is likely too)
Garage for one. Also Aluminum, which over there is Alumin-i-um. That extra syllable irks me.

You are right to assume the reverse is likely; the British hate "aluminum" just as much as you hate aluminium. To me it sounds dopey. I don't have any particular feeling on "garage" though - I've pronounced it both ways, and am still uncertain which is which.

I've fought it out over aluminum before. The American variant is older, the British variant fits the pattern of metals (you know, the one that things like "platinum" break anyway), but who cares?

I hate glacier, pronounced as if it meant "more glassy."

It's not just over here. The whole world recognises that the scientific term for that element is 'aluminium'.

I am going to have to say southern accent. Stop slandering the English language.

As in Southern England? So, Queen's English, barth and parth not a sharp a sound?

My accent IRL, being from Belfast.

 

[nick n stuff]

any brummie (birmingham england) accent

i resent that comment. the stereotypical brummie accent is usually wrong cos people mistake really thick midland accents such as yam yam for it. and you can't hate us cos Birmingham gave the world Black Sabbath and heavy metal.

What? Ummmm no. I am talking about the deep south in America. Especially Alabama..

 

[tthor]

you don't make fun of a person's native accent. often they can't change their accent even if they tried.
i myself have an odd accent, and i get incredibly depressed whenever someone so much as brings it up, not to mention mock it >_>

 

[KimberlyGoreHound]

Why not mock them for it? You don't blame it on them, nor tell them to get a real accent, but why not fuck with them a little? Everyone has weird things about them and everyone else mocks everybody else. It's human nature to belittle.

That "extra syllable" is the right way to say it, most of the world says aluminium so aluminum that annoys me XP. In general I hate english accent, mostly the gordie accent, also annoyed by the welsh accent to.

This made me cry with laughter.

You sir, are a proud owner of a cookie!

*me gives cookie to AgentNein*

OT: Probably the accent of bad guy in ME2's DLC 'Kasumi's lost memory'. Really annoyed me for some reason.

 

[hippykiller]

Probably anyone in any game with an Irish accent, apart from Atlas in Bioshock.

i always thought atlas was supposed to be a Scotsman?

Seriously? I'm pretty sure he sounds more like he's from Dublin in Ireland than anywhere in Scotland.

eh i just got that impression. But i just wikied it. yeah, He's Irish.

Fake Irish accents. They fail. Minly because there is no Irish accent.

I'm sorry but there is DEFINITELY an Irish accent. If not, then every person that's talked to my family while on holiday has been telepathic because they instantly cop us as Irish, SOMEHOW.

Also, have you talked to anyone from Cork or Wexford? =P

It seems that further south, the accent gets.. I don't know, chirpier and faster. While further north, we bring things to an annoying drawl. Derry and Cork (furthest points north and south) are nearly unintelligible =/

I think Dublin's pretty diverse too though. The difference between people in Tallaght (poorISH area) and Foxrock (RichISH are) are completely different. I think each point on the compass has it's own typical accent, central's probably the easiest to understand. =P

 

[Reynard Wrecce]

I hate fake Irish accents in films, it's the most irritating thing in the world, no one talks like that.

Ah faith and begorrah, sorr, whatever do ye mean, shamrocks and Guinness? Oi've ahlways found Oirish accents te be...
Actually, even typing like that is irritating; yes, a fake Irish accent sticks out like a hippo in a trifle.
