>when you realize American is actually a different language

>>70064282
A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.

Though we don't really consider it different enough from English to justify making it its own language.

>>70064082
is this because of that other thread?

I was just reading that thread thinking about how god damn stupid Americans are

Obviously we have an accent but the reason we think that our accent is the normal way and everyone else is a freak is because of movies and tv. We are constantly exposed to the accent. And then when we see the occasional british movie we think "hahah he has the silly british accent"

>>70064082
Then why does everyone sing using an american accent?

>>70064282
no

>we are constantly exposed to our own accent in our own country

Standard American English is THE global standard English. "Accents" are actually only defined in terms of how they deviate from the American standard. Without that standard, the idea of an "accent" doesn't mean anything.

The same applies to culture, which is why foreigners suffer from the delusion that America has no culture, when the reality is that we've dominated them so thoroughly that they can't see the forest for the trees.

>>70064082
There is an American nuetral accent you dumb retard

>>70065735
that's an america hate song though

>>70065790
It's a song about foreigners (Germans in this case) being cucked by our superior culture.

>>70065735
it's a love-hate song

I speak perfect English, what are you talking about britbong?

>>70065735

>>70065763
Yeah, and it's an accent. If you speak it you have an accent, you fucking imbecile

>>70065883
Anyone who speaks any language speaks it with an accent. How hard is this to wrap your fat head around?

>>70065928
>>70065940
>hurr hurr everyone who speaks languages has an accent
No, you dumbass.
An accent is what a foreigner has when they try to learn a language and get pronunciations wrong. If a language is your mother tongue then by definition you don't have an accent.

>>70066024
Are you trolling? If that's your definition of an accent then how come different regions of the US have their own accents?

>>70066024
that's nonsense for a polycentric language like English
Americans and English people have very different accents yet are both native speakers

>>70066081
Because some regions speak it incorrrectly. Those regions have accents.

That's called a fucking dialect

>>70064082
we dont though

>>70066218
are you being retarded on purpose?
dialects consists of different varieties of a language having different grammar, different vocabulary and different accents

it's rare to find different dialects whose accents don't differ

>>70066300
You're confusing 'accent' and 'pronunciation'.

A dialect is a variety of a language. An accent is when a foreigner sounds odd trying to speak a language.

American English and English English are different dialects, Pajeet immigrating from India has an accent.

>>70066394
You are fucking retarded.

On a side note there is such a thing as Indian English which is a dialect of English spoken in India

>>70066394
what definition are you even using?

>In sociolinguistics, an accent is a manner of pronunciation peculiar to a particular individual, location, or nation.
>the word 'accent' may refer specifically to the differences in pronunciation, whereas the word "dialect" encompasses the broader set of linguistic differences. Often "accent" is a subset of "dialect".
>speakers who deviate from it are often said to "speak with an accent". However, everyone speaks with an accent.[2][10] People from the United States would "speak with an accent" from the point of view of an Australian, and vice versa. Accents such as BBC English or General American or Standard American may sometimes be erroneously designated in their countries of origin as "accentless" to indicate that they offer no obvious clue to the speaker's regional or social background.[2]

>When you realize that the same British folks that came over to colonize America spoke what sounds like very similar to our current southern American accents.

Why can't Americans spell? It's armour not armor, colour not color, mum not mom etc.
Also, why can't they pronounce forward? It's not Fo-erd you fucking mongoloids.

Why so Brits get so triggered by the American pronunciation of 'solder'? (Our) Correct pronunciation has the l, it's just very subtle
