I like to speak in an old timey movie gangster accent ya see.

Somebody needs to speak the extinct Hollywood transatlantic accent. I've found that some US celebrities still seem to have it

[–] teft@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

Lets start an ESL school that only teaches the transatlantic accent and see if we can revive it.

British - fancy

America - normal

Australia - wildcard

I'd mix everything just for kicks :)

[–] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'm not even aware of what my accent sounds like. Probably a weird amalgamation of everything.

Definitely not the Australian . my jaw will break and my vocal cords will wear out at an early age.

Why did you train so badly?!

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've done so many accents at this point I don't even know what my real accent is anymore, but people always think I'm actually from New York or New Jersey until I start talking.

USdefaultism of this post should be used in The International Bureau of Weights and Measures as the metrics for all other USdefaultisms.

333 million Americans, 67 million Brits, 26 million Australians.

1.4 billion Indians. So what?

They're talking about native English speakers. Did you really not get that? There are also a lot of Chinese people, try yelling that out of context, also.
