why do americans promounce names so autistically?

No one here says Craig as Creg, it's Crayg. Graham is literally pronounced that way. Tara being Tera depends on the person's preference, I've heard both used.

Why do Australians pronounce Nissan as Nihsin

Because we are from a different place and therefore have a different accent

>>77852036
You are a retarded nitpicker.

>>77852176
Where the fuck do you live? Everyone says Cregg where I live. Also Nissan is pronounced (knee sahn)

>>77856201
Literally judt muh heritage fags LARPing since being German is more special than being British here even though it's the supposed majority. Most "German Americans" still probably have 40%+ Anglo.

>>77856319
>However, the English-Americans and British-Americans demography is considered a serious under-count as the stock tend to self-report and identify as simply "Americans" (6.9%), due to the length of time they have inhabited America.
actually read your links before you post them next time you fucking idiot

Why are they so lazy?

They already have short word but are so lazy they don't pronounce t after n or b after m really often

>In the 1980 United States Census, over 49 million (49,598,035) Americans claimed English ancestry, at the time around 26.34% of the total population and largest reported group which, even today, would make them the largest ethnic group in the United States.[11][12] Eight out of the ten most common surnames in the United States are of English origin or having possible mixed British Isles heritage, the other two being of Spanish origin.
go to bed you fucking idiot

Wow is it fucking 1980 or was that 40 years ago can you remind me?

It doesn't matter how badly you want to disagree, you are wrong

>>77856694
You realize people die and ethnic makeup changes right?

Statistics don't lie, you are wrong and retarded

Anyway many smiths are actually schmidts and this was furthered during and after WWII to avoid German stigma

You are fucking STUPID

>>77856893
>>77856877
so according to your logic, 20 million english americans just died out while the "german" americans were fucking like rabbits and a mass wave of immigration from germany happened that went completely unreported in the news

So according to your logic numbers aren't real

Right, like when people report their British ancestry

>>77854464
>jagar
No one fucking says it that way.

The actual question that's always bothered me with the pronounciation in simplified english (american english) is the following: Why can't you just commonly use those goddamn pronounciation symbols like http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/about/pronunciation_english
?

Instead of that cringeworthy "-" separated bullshit like, let me quote:

>>77857086
According to one of the largest ever genetics studies conducted, published January 2015 in the American Journal of Human Genetics, British/Irish ethnicity are overwhelmingly the predominate ancestrty in America at mean proportions of 20% in each state.
Of the 49 million people claiming to be German, only around 16 million actually are, (meaning there are more blacks than Germans in America.)

>>77857086
it's consistently been reported as a british majority since the census started, whereas the german "majority" is a recent phenomenon

>>77857115
Do you krauts actually learn that shit in school or something? Nobody in the US has a clue what those mean unless they look them up or they're a linguist.

>>77857102
>jag-wire

>>77857156
I gave multiple sources you've given none

>>77857171
But you just said statistics aren't real if they're self reported

>>77856413
>English, Welsh and Scotts are all the same.
OK, you can tell them that.

>>77857175
It's in every damn dictionary here and we tend to get in touch with it around the second or third grade in elementary school when we learn working with dictionaries. But thanks for shedding some light on the manner mate

>>77857177
Better but the Aussie is retarded to think anyone says Jagar

>>77857242
No problem lad.

>>77857156
>British
>Irish
>Same thing
That's a wide brush, we should add the Flemish, Jutlanders, Romanian Saxons, Dutch Austrians, Swiss, etc. to German then. Also, some English would actually have the similar genetics to lowland Germans so genetics might not be the best definition.

>>77857204
they aren't objective or trustworthy, but your only source is the self reported census
the point i was making was that i have the entire history of the census creating a trend of a british majority. you're trying to say that that has changed in less than a single life time

>>77857181
You have given multiple meme sources that usr self reported (useless) data. Do you happen to have a copy of the January 8th 2015 American Journal of Human Genetics? That's the source
