Worst Accent

[Adamski]

Oh and Dundee is far worse....

That hits the nail on the head..... I went to Uni in Dundee, and worked there for 5 years. Sometimes I couldnt make out what was being said.

Eh pal, eh'll have a plain een, an' an ingin een an' ah.....!

Julie Walters is a good example of a brummie accent.

Brummies and Black Country people are some of the friendliest people in the country. I should know

I here the girls there are real goers........

Anything other than Received Pronunciation is simply frightful...

Oh anyone who says "parth" or "barth" instead of path and bath and then tries to tell you that you don't speak properly.

That's one if my pet hates! It's not grarss it's grass. It's not gararge it's garage.

'Ga-ridge' most certainly is not correct, nor is 'grassss', 'pa-th' or 'ba-th'!
'Ga-rarrge', 'graarse', 'paaarth' and 'baaarth' are the only acceptable pronunciations

Oh the delights of the English language, the worst case is Lieutenant, I mean do you see an F in there

I was born in Kent, lived in Cheshire for 12 years and have lived in Yorkshire for the last 20, so I can be forgiven for my idiosyncrasy, I had a barth this morning, but I like to shop in Bath :wink:

However according to the Oxford English Dictionary the correct pronunciation is barth, unless your American and then it is bath

 

[Adamski]

People who say - Honder instead of Honda.... boils my piss :x :lol:

The Norfolk accent isn't great but the Norwich accent in particular really gets on my tits. When I moved up here from Essex I spent a lot of time having to explain that I wasn't actually from London and was consequently not a cockney.

Nowadays the dictionary won't commit to one pronunciation for many words, instead citing that many pronunciations being acceptable

Sadly when you hear someone with a really strong Norfolk/Norwich accent they just sound thick :thumbsdown:

:scratchhead: :scratchhead: :scratchhead: OK! I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed. Nor do I think I'm the dullest. But right after that second comma the train derailed.

Dundonian man walked into a pie shop, and asked for:

A plain one, and an onion one as well

A plain een, an' an ingin een an' ah

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle!
I'd not figured that one out. Even if I'd had an (a)eon to think about it.

Many thanks Mr. Adamski

Well I am glad to see my Accent has not been mentioned. Even though I am a Geordie I hate to hear anybody from the North East on TV I think our accent is really harsh.

I love the Geordie accent, I live in Teesside and can't stand the watered down Smoggie accent (I'm from t'yorkshire). But I think it's hilarious when anyone further south than Leeds can't tell the difference between Smoggies, Mackems and Geordies and just call us all Geordies!!

The queen says graarse so its correct

Its all the Northern people who cant speak proper queens english and pronounce everything the american way. Soon they will pronounce Z4 as Zee four and not Zed four!!
