The British Accent - A lesson on ignorance.

[Cmwissy]

Well there you go: when people say "British" they are referring to someone's NATIONALITY.

Look at the original post (before it got derailed)

There is allot of the UK - it would be foolish to sum up every accent like that.

It would also be foolish to expect evybody everywhere to call accents by thier local names rather than the nation from where the accent comes from.

When you hear an Australian talk you think "oh thats an Australian accent", because that accent comes from Asutralia. It would be very foolish of me to expect you to call it a country accent, such a distinction is irrelvent and pointless. Un less you live here there is no way you could know, and even less reason you should care.

Even if an accent isn't general Australian it would still be correct to call it Australian, because thats where it comes from.

Scottish, English Irish and welsh are first nationalities before British.

You're both obviously unbelievably bias to your countries, Yes I have made mistakes in my posts and have always marked them out; you both however are just....enemies of logic.

Before you run of the mouth again - You cannot compare a British country with a state; tell me - how much post-British invasion American history does New-york have?

Irrelevant babble!

Come on, admit it... you havent acknowledged that it does say it is a country. Meaning your own proof proves you wrong.

I've acknowledged it - I haven't accepted it.

It's general knowledge that the UK is a sovereign union-ship - I just rang my mother and asked her if the UK is a country - she laughed down the phone and said no.

Oh are we telling each other what we are doing behind the screen now?

I am laughing at what you just typed.

There, hope that was informative.

Anyway, yes. As your own proof says its an Island Country, which it is.

Come on, admit it already. Admit you are wrong... change your views.

Actually, I wonder if you are the kind of person that will continue to argue even though you have realised that you are wrong.

Ireland is a nation, the others are not, have you not being listening to anybody in this thread?

Becides there are thousands of diffrent accents on that one small island, do you expect us to know them all? If you do than you should first know every accent in the world so as not to be a hypocrite.

Also - don't call it 'irrelevant babble' you twat (if you saw the intentional irony - you win)


I also know without having to ask that you are English, Kinguendo, and if you were Scottish, Irish or Welsh - you would be agreeing with me.

Because these days British = English.

Actually I am half English and Half Irish, you just cant catch a break can you? Everytime you say something I prove it wrong... Except for that time that you proved yourself wrong... but in doing so proved me right so that one counts as mine.

Alright guys - I'm giving up; Even though I still don't believe it - I think you've won this one.

At-least let me admit defeat with a little respect; without the needless being a twat that we've all done?

If you're going to use your 'concession' post as one last chance to insult me and accuse me of being a twat, of acting ANYTHING like you?

No.

Dude, the Ego on you is astounding.

I give up - and you've got to kick me still.

Also - note how it wasn't aimed specifically at you; If it really hurts you so much to learn you've made a few false points (we all have) I'll edit it just for you.

So who was it aimed at? Who were you insulting?
If you wanted this to end prehaps insulting people was a bad idea.

EDIT: On xbox live sometimes jerks insult people team kill and then leave, thats more or less what you've done here. If you do want things to end then just leave, don't make a parting shot.

Obviously not able to admit you've made false facts - I can.

No, you can deal with having 'made false facts' (whatever that means) by accusing everyone else of having done the same.

That's not admitting anything--that's just another way to avoid admitting you were wrong and someone else was right by saying you were wrong...and so was everyone else.

You were right - I was wrong - but you were a twat as some points.

Hey, thanks man, I was expecting someone to be a bit snotty about the fact I'm admitting I'm wrong.

Which they are.

But hey, thanks.

You do realize that where I live 'twat' is hardly insulting?


Twat is the modern surrey equivalent to the American 'Doo Doo head'

I made no false points. If you want to admit you did, groovy; I did not

Do... you really not see any ego in that - I would call that being a twat - in-fact the twat reference in the original 'I'm wrong' post is no longer about false posts - It's about your ego.

Go ahead, you dont need to ask our permission.

That's what thingymajig said - can you not be more like him?

 

[Caimekaze]

Rightio.

Erm. I guess I came in a little too late to the discussion... But whatever. I'm from the good ol' land from down under, and yet I have never been called Australian from my accent. Even while at work, people ask "Are you British?"

Apparently, I have a Birmingham accent. At least, that's what those people I was arguing with about my country of origin on TF2 said.

But I digress. Most people I know consider British to be synonymous with English, whereas if someone has an Irish or Scottish accent, they consider the accent Irish or Scottish. While it may be technically incorrect, they still won't call anyone Irish or Scottish British.

For the last time, it's not an accent, it's a dialect. Accents are completly different.
