The internet is structurally designed to make it easier than ever to be a self destructing shut in
It's never been easier to never leave your house! It's never been easier to abandon family and friends. It's never been easier to disappear off the face of the Earth. It's never been easier to get designer drugs shipped to your house.

We hear you guys less than you hear us I imagine.
The biggest difference I can tell is you pronounce 80 as ay-tee and we pronounce it AD.
I once heard a British person say fourteen, and I couldn't tell if they said fourteen or forty, because the first syllable is pronounced exactly the same in that accent, with the only difference being the N at the end. In America, fourteen is pronounced with a strong t, and forty is pronounced with a strong d.
The t/d is a fairly consistent difference between the accents, not getting into any of the more complex and subtle differences.
That said, some of our own accents are probably exotic to others. The accent the world is most familiar with is our midwest accent because it is fairly bland and neutral. But some southern accents like the new orleans accent or even some northern accents like the Minnesota accent probably sound completely novel to outsiders.
>that accent
There are a lot of accents across the British Isles, rather than a "British accent"
English people sound very foreign to me, and I'm Welsh...
>>112
Just like most people think of the Midwest accent as 'the American accent' I was simplifying based on the London accent and whatever those people on the BBC speak
>>110 Middlin' foreign, where extremely foreign while still speaking English would be South African, and barely foreign would be rural Canadian. Your various regional accents have interesting musical qualities too.
The accent I heard when I was in London for a month was distinct for it's lack of 't' (the term "water bottle" amused them). The "British accent" that melts the panties off over here is usually either RP/"posh"/"cut-glass"/"BBC", or in some cases a really cleaned up Yorkshire. As far as English-from-England goes, Americans don't get media exposure to much besides those three (there's West Country, but it's presented as pirates or hobbits so most wouldn't be able to place it correctly).
My favourite English accent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od4pgqWdiCA I think it's called Estuary English
>>111
The enunciation is completely different, all across the UK. FOURty vs fourTEEN.
The real biggest difference: the American R is one of the weirdest sounds in the world. It's a complete giveaway as they often can't hide it, and it's obvious when an ESL person has learnt English from an American.
Nice trips btw
I'm having a Dragonball kick right now. Does this mean I'm turning black
>>118 I found that maddening in grade school Spanish and Japanese classes. Yeah, fine, trying to contort your tongue posture for new sounds can be difficult, but some fuckers didn't even feel the need to try for four years.
Actually drives me a little nuts; most references seem to conceive of "General American" (not a real thing, just imagine all media personalities jumped in a blender) "er" as schwa-r, but what I've heard my entire life is much more like r being treated as a vowel.
Also, a lot of people aren't aware that some of us are going around using "bunched" postalveolar approximant r and some of us are using retroflex r (well, it's really a continuum...) because the difference is basically inaudible. Which shouldn't be a problem except there are many people who are supposed to know better who don't.
>>121
I didn't know that! I've been contorting my lips in a stupid-looking asymmetric snarl to make the sound.

Just killed Ornstein and Smough after trying for 3 days, I beat the entire mega-Smough with no estus and an invisible amount of hp, now I'm losing to a fucking metal pig.

>>118
Hey asshole, the American R comes from your country. Like many things British criticize Americans for, this is one of those things we inherited from you and then one day you all collectively decided you were too good for it. Just like how we got the word soccer from you.
>>126
Also our customary measurement system, our dating system, and our love for empire...
Chiggers
>>126
That's right. The entire rest of the English-speaking world held a committee meeting one day in the 19th century and collectively decided to stop R-ing. Webster got mad that America wasn't invited and dedicated the rest of his life to trashing his country's dialect in protest.
> the gaijin think they have dialects
お可愛いこと
Not quite my accent something I have faced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tffp64Lu10
Wait a minute. Is Japan the only place with dialects?
>>133, of course not. More like supposed gulfs in English dialects ('t least 'fore some'ne gets two beers in) would look humorously minor to many other languages' speakers.
>>134
Orthogonal to the point I was making... even so, I guess you've never met a northerner
Only people in America that speak a dialect are former slave owners and black people
>>135 Raided with one for a year, actually (though, to be fair, his enunciation was not). Reminds me, maybe the least understandable guy I've gamed with was 10 years ago, a poor bastard in a different guild whose native language was Gaelic. He wasn't properly educated in English for some reason; meant he basically had nobody to talk to online and everything he said made you think you had a stroke.
Here in the Old Dominion we've got a couple of (rare) accents that exhibit some similar vowels to some northern "tongues" despite them being completely unrelated. And the preeminence of regional slang tends to be played up a bit, unless you work in an old industry. What I'd consider a dialect by other language's standards is Scots.
Though, I don't consider myself good at hearing through accents, mind you; I consider myself poor at hearing spoken communication in general so it equalizes somewhat.
Tried to type 獣 and IME's first suggestion is けものフレンズ

I am not okay.
>What I'd consider a dialect by other language's standards is Scots.
Scots is a language, one of three spoken in Scotland - there are many Scottish dialects, collectively known as the Scots language
🗿
Can some of you go to https://www.youtube.com and tell me if you can see view counts under the video titles? I think I've messed something up....
> Scots is a language, one of three spoken in Scotland - there are many Scottish dialects, collectively known as the Scots language
"A language is a dialect with an army and a navy."
If figuratively was an easier word to say than literally, would teenage girls be doing everything figuratively?
I am so weak.
dead flag blues sure is more fitting nowadays than it was on 1999.
>>143
Scots is a forced meme. AAVE has more grammatical departures from Standard English than Scots does and nobody considers that a separate language.
>>154 Not sure what AAVE is but Scots isn't just "grammatical departures from Standard English", maybe you're thinking of Scottish English.
🅱️🅱️V🅱️
>>155
I know what it is, I know what your arguments are for calling it a separate language. The main argument is that it's a dialect of Middle English that historically evolved separately from Standard English. Despite this claim of linguistic isolation, Scots shares most of the convergences that happened between Middle and Modern English, and it's also arguable that Scots was never fully isolated from Standard English to begin with. After all, you guys share an island.
You're just a dialect of English that says "wee bairns" and pronounces the gh in daughter, as far as I'm concerned. I once listened to a professor give a 30 minute lecture in Scots and I thought it was a total joke that he was acting like he was speaking a different language.
>>157 I would say the main argument is that it's how people talk in Scotland and none of that historical posturing (nice wikipedia skills). I don't know, you say you what it is and what the arguments are, but you seem to be making quite shallow observations about it. Do you think similarly about Norwegian compared to Danish, or other similar languages born from shared roots?
(I'm Welsh btw but my wife is Scottish)
Someone cluelessly trying to educate a Scottish person about their own language, who turned out to be Welsh, is the funniest thing I've seen so far today
>>149
Maybe this is bait for a language game, I never understood the issue people have with this.
Ok, plenty of people tend to overuse the term "literally" when the factual meaning of their full sentence is actually "figuratively" - however, people rarely seem to consider the (obvious) fact that "literally" is used as hyperbole for additional emphasis. It's usually clear from the context that the writer still intends the non-literal meaning to be understood. In fact, it's probably extremely unlikely that someone uses the term "literally" incorrectly, but rather it's much more likely that they deliberately use it subversively to exaggerate their statement.
The use of the term "figuratively" in the sense of:
"They're figuratively on fire."
Only serves to belittle the main premise of the statement. It's like saying "They're on fire, but not really haha it's just an expression", drawing attention away from the metaphor/simile/idk, the opposite of exaggeration. Why would teenage girls want to apply such a tone to their words? surely, they would be better off just saying "They're on fire" (which is easier to say than "They're literally on fire", anyway).
It's not like sentences have to make absolute factual sense, we can mix and mash metaphors and warp meanings without breaking understanding, it's part of the joy of speech. It's why we can stay stuff like "This sentence is false" or "I have no words". Meaning is greater than simple definitions.
Even if you disagree with that, keep in mind that there is no correct definition of a word. Language is constantly evolving, with plenty of definitions inverting over time as popular "mis-usage" becomes standard usage. And 'literally' has been used as a dramatic intensifier for centuries; see any of the number of examples available online that I'm too lazy to add here.
Anyway, what that means for you, >>149, is that you might be autistic.
Well, you see, >>160,
>It's not like sentences have to make absolute factual sense
>there is no correct definition of a word
Are things not everyone, or even many people, agree with. Really, most people are seeking shared values, but will move heaven and earth to avoid changing their own. Same goes with the use of language. Has it ever struck you that phrases like:
> I never understood the issue people have with this.
can come across as disingenuous? It seems to me you totally do understand. But the case you have made is less about not understanding ad more about not caring. It's your prerogative to not care, mind you. To mix and "mash" as you say, can be quite alright. To not care about shit that doesn't matter to you is an economic necessity; we only get so much time in this life. But deviating from established expressions makes a lot of people [sic].
There has long been a bit of a culture war going on between the importance objective and subjective values have, and language has long been one of the ways people posture themselves on this battlefield. Although I state it as a dichotomy, it is not. There are a great many people who prize objective truth who do not speak sincerely, and there are a great many sincere speakers who can't admit that what comes up must come down simply because they saw an exception. Boggles me greatly, being someone who values both objectivity and sincerity, but it seems to be the case.
>>161
Rather than understanding or caring, my only claim is that I do not understand why people care, though perhaps I should've chosen my words better given the discussion topic. And I hate to quote, but:
> deviating from established expressions makes a lot of people [sic].
What a wonderful use of language!!!!
