Worst English language accent in the world

[kurupt87]

Double negative completely defeated your point there good chap.

"aren't a result of English not being their mother tongue" = are a result of English being their mother tongue.

He said we should focus on accents that are a result of English being the first language. That means we shouldn't ridicule non-native accents. It may have been unnecessary but the double negative expressed exactly what he meant. You do not get a Gold Star in English class today.

Hmm, while his point does carry through he meant it from the other side.

In other words, saying that "we should exclude people who do not speak English as a first language" and that "we should only include people who speak English as their first language"; the outcome of these two statements are essentially the same but they differ in tone and highlight different groups of people.

The way the post was written suggested to me that the first statement was what the writer was aiming for, not the second.

Edit: I'm wrong

A Tommy Wiseau-ish like accent...

There are quite a few British accents which just sound ridiculous.

And that is exactly why he used the double negative, so he could emphasize the more important group while expressing the same basic point. My rephrasing merely dropped the negatives in order to clearly show what that point was. There was no mistake in need of correction.

Aww, come on man. Making fun of the mentally disabled is not cool.

This will cause too much hate. I refuse to join in.

Me too, I've already had mine slammed, and I have a few choice words to say about others....

Yes, I quite agree, now: which ones (there're probably at least one per county, and across four countries, two of which have extreme regional differences, that's a lot of accents)?

OT:

For England: Essex chav, 'cos there's nothing that marks it as being... well anything, it's not quaint, it's not sophisticated, it's not folksy, it's not nice on the ears and Russell Brand simply butchers the sound of the English language (damned fuckwit).

For USA: Oddly, I've warmed to the Louisiana accent, so I'll go for Kentucky/Virginia... they can talk to me all day long, I won't be able to follow a single word (sorry, nothing personal).

For RotW: Native English speakers, all fine, actually (yes, I can stand an Afrikaner speaking English), but for non-native speakers: Malaysian Chinese, why does English sound so wrong when they do it?

I hate the American Deep South accent, its just so bloody iratating. Also I'm not the biggest fan of the New Zealand accent.

As i was writing the above paragraph I thought about what a mix of Deep South And New Zealand accent crossed togeather... I then consider tearing my throught out and bleed to death... with made me *sad face*

Southern US. It's just impossible not to sound dumb as rocks with a southern accent.

What a banal argument.

You're missing my point; that being the subject of the sentence.

He was talking about those who speak English as a second language. The only sentence with them as the subject is one with a single negative; no negative or a double make English 1st speakers the subject.

You're looking at the outcome only and ignoring context.

Edit: I'm wrong.

Stereotypical French Canadian accent ahead:

 

[William MacKay]

This accent seems equally annoying too, but I don't live in the UK:

how can you hate that accent?

 

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

Every time one of the guys in this opens their mouth, I rage.
Init?

I'm sorry, it's Australia

You aren't thinking of the crocodile dundee accent (or the Simpsons episode one) are you? Because I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist. I know nobody who talks like that.

Man, it ain't that one.
I'm talking about that weird compromise between an "English" accent, "something similar to a South African accent", and, inexplicably, Irish.
It's just weird.

Moreover, I don't know where that "Crocodile Dundee" accent came from, because it doesn't exist.

The Irish part is pretty explicable, because a large portion of the first fleet was Irish.

The chav accent.
The chav accent.
The flippin chav accent.
I will murder you chav accent people.
No I won't really, the accents just really annoying...
(though if you're asian with a chav accent, I would consider it)
Note: I am asian, I just find it insulting to our race if an asian talks with a chav accent.

Wot wot are you disrespektin me bruv, are you disrespeckting me?! I'll stab u up blud, my bruvva has a well fast car an he'll run you down bruv innit, u get me?!?

No, good sir, I do not. I do not get you at all.

But I applaud your decision to apply a £600 exhaust and £1000 wheels to your 12 year old Citroen Saxo, a very bold artistic statement.

Nah brah, you is way outta touch. No one ses bruv any more; all about the brah. Know what I'm saying?

Anyway brah, you know the pussy I pull in this machine? ' embarasss you son, that what it'd do.
[sub]Depressingly not ironic[/sub]

Good sir, are you insinuating that the eponymous chav does not have the most acute business sense that is widely available?

To be fair, (arguent for a chav), I'd rather get a pimped up old VW Golf, rather than spend 60 grand on some Porsche

Oh, and if by 'North East' you mean Yorkshire, get over yourself! Just because one of the best Wallace and Gromit gags to date is when they try and lob a bomb into Yorkshire doesn't give you cause to be a grump!

Nah, I'm not from Yorkshire. I'm indifferent to half of their accents, like.

I'm from just a bit south of Durham. Ignorant people have taken me for a geordie (even from pretty close by) but I don't sound like that really. When I'm not trying or drunk I speak in the Bishop Mumble.
