I do use 'sucks' but not very often

I`d much rather say 'fucking awful' , 'shite' or 'complete & utter load of bollocks.

It's okay to think like that. You're definitely right. I mean, I like the Americans, but the brits... I love the way they speak. It's somehow "eleborate" (I don't wanna sound condescending, please don't get me wrong). And their accent is just awesome... I love to listen to them.
And btw: Don't you think that "colour" looks much better than "color"?

I dont know if anyone else has heard of this before, but when somebody says something, and it confuses you, the person sometimes is told to stop speaking swahealey. (dunno how its spelt)

I reckon it sounds funny, especially when complemented by offensive swear words

To me the american accent is slow and twangy. Nothing against americans just not a fan of the accent, kinda like Josephine's take on "colour", i prefer it with a u too.

But im not the biggest fan of the british accent eather lol, i find it pompus-ish. Fancy a pint eh?

makes me smile nonetheless

i love the way the world has this universal idea that all english people speak with a very pronounced, posh toff accent when in fact most of the bloody country doesnt have that accent at all. if you came over here and listened to some of the people..its not pretty.

well, australian is a mix of england and america, so were cooler...

Fenixpunk · 08-17-2005, 10:51 AM

there is no true american accent. It all depends on where you go, or where the person talking to you is from. People in Tennessee dont talk like people in Louisiana who dont talk like the people from New York who sound nothing like the people from Minnesota and then theres California that has every accent you can think of blended in with the beach boy slang....etc. etc. etc.

English is called English for a reason. Its not called American now, is it... So quit making fun of the way we spell colour

Still, pretty much all accents are the sex... 'Part from our accent, which sucks.
