Poll: Pony Question

[Blindswordmaster]

You have been warned. Does Rarity have a slight British accent? It's really hard for me to tell.
Edit: Crap, why doesn't the poll show up?

 

[Daystar Clarion]

That depends, do you think it sounds Scottish, Welsh, or English?

No such thing as a British accent.

*shrugs* Probably not, just seeing as Britain doesn't exist in Equestria. However....
I never really caught that. *thinks* She's elegant, but I don't think it was British specifically.

I thought it did though. They mention Troddingham/Trottingham. And they mention French designs on dresses, so other countries might exist.

OT: I don't think so. I never noticed it if it is there.

Also, no poll.

What's the difference between a Welsh and English accent?
Also, aren't England and Britain interchangeable?

I know. I made a poll, but it didn't work for some reason.

I thought she just had that kind of pseudo-posh accent that Americans create when they're trying to sound upmarket.

That depends, do you think it sounds Scotish, Welsh, or English?

No such thing as a British accent.

English, probably.

If you hear a Scottish accent, you don't say 'Oooh! A British accent', you say 'Oooh, a Scottish accent'.

Also, this is a Welsh accent.

She has an accent known as "Mid-Atlantic English" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_English]

Also: Probably too late, but inb4 pony hate
Don't like the thread? Don't go in.

 

[automatron]

Slightly.
I just think she sounds posh, which has been equated to a british/ english accent

That sounds exactly the same as an English accent. And you didn't answer my second question.

This is what I think as well, especially when she says "Dahhling!"

Also I love all the Discord avatars /)^3^(\

They're interchangeable if you're referring to the country in general, but if you referring to accents? Well it's kind of like saying 'Ooohhh, I love European food!'

It's not specific enough.

Also, that's a mild Welsh accent, not really heavy.

This is a better example.

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

I'm just gonna say she talks 'fancy' it's kinda her thing. And I love it.

 

[Nickompoop]

English people (Is Englishmen politically correct?) are general viewed as fancy, and Rarity is, if nothing else, fancy. Now I have to go back to some episode and look for the accent. Wonderful, that'll nag me for the rest of the day.

That sounds about right. Then again, I'm not really an expert at ANY accent other than southern and Jersey. So I'm probably not the best judge.

 

[BakedAlaskan]

If you lived in Boston and someone said you had a Jersey accent, they'd be WRONG. Just because some (most American) people cannot differentiate between Welsh, Scottish and English doesnt mean you get to simplify their cultural traits. No one in Britain has a British accent as it simply doesnt exist, and you'd find it pretty hard to find anyone that would define themselves as British, over say Welsh, English or Scottish. The phrase "British accent" I have only ever heard come out the mouths of babes (typically fit American babes in US TV shows).

 

[BakedAlaskan]

Does "Fancy" Ketchup come from England then?
