I would much rather have Americans speak like Brits. I like to say bloke and trousers.

>>127516386

I don't think so, personally. The defining difference of english english and american english is that the former is non-rhotic. Americans use an "arrr" where we use an "aah".

However, some british accents do bear that similarity to modern american accents. In fact its where the stereotypical pirate accent comes from.

While I'm not autistic enough to get irate about the way americans pronounce things for the most part, I do find "farther" compared to "further" silly. Same as "carbean" vs "carbine".

I can't fucking stand non-rhotic English. We have R's. They're fucking meant to be pronounced.

And don't even get me started on britbongs getting rid of H's in words that should have them, while also inserting H's into words where they're not supposed to be pronounced.
Or that thing some britbongs do where they "click" the last syllable if it's a T or a K. So "sit" becomes "si'T" Hard to describe. Many such cases. Annoying!

>>127516910
Ever heard a High Tiger accent?

In general British and Irish English sounds better and has better slang. "teaching" it separately doesn't make sense as most people are aware of the basics of our spelling differences and pronunciation differences. It's not like you're going to be learning Yorkshire or Appalachian English

>>127520330

>>127518014
>>127517896
That's just a popular trope, there's no basis to it except that rhoticity was more common in the UK in the past as opposed to now

I'm a web developer so I've gotten used to writing colour as color - it doesn't really look right but it doesn't trip me up.

English spelling is what we use in Australia and to me it looks the most natural, however - English doesn't really look like how it sounds anyway so I guess ultimately it doesn't matter.

I think it is pretty clear that American spelling was invented purely for patriotic purposes, it seems forced to me.

As for the spoken language it honestly doesn't bother me so much. People put a lot of stock in those types of things, in terms of what sounds the best I'm biased towards Australian (obviously). I hate the pretentiousness that comes from received pronunciation British English and I hate the Scottish accent. The best sounding accent in my opinion is the accent that people from Minneapolis have, I dunno - it just sounds nice.

>>127516386
It's the opposite. British English has been corrupted by French. Not all dialects though. Northern England has more pure dialects, whereas south England dialects are bastardized.

You're cherrypicking extremely remote and strange accents that are notable because of how strange they are and how few people speak them. It's certainly not the standard.

>>127520770
>The best sounding accent in my opinion is the accent that people from Minneapolis have, I dunno - it just sounds nice.

What the fuck? I bet you like Inland NA English too (Chicago-Detroit-Buffalo-Upper Peninsula). The nicest American accent is an older upper class Virginia accent

>>127521038

Sounds nice to me. I've heard loads of people including burgers say they really hate that kind of accent but I love it.

>>127521106
That has nothing to do with other factors of pronunciation in addition to there still being rhotic accents in the UK and almost all of Ireland while there is non-rhotic accents here.

What are you talking about? The guy mentioned West country English (pirate accent) so I showed him an accent that's believed to have a lot of West country influence. I don't have an agenda

>>127521106
To be fair, it's really not fair to say that either american or british is the "more authentic accent". They both diverged greatly from the original progenitor language. American accents mostly kept the R sounds, but there are other changes. For example, british english actually has a "short o" sound (god, hot, etc). We americans pronounce short o the same as an "ah" sound (gahd, haht). AFAIK we don't have that short o sound at all, and we only use it when impersonating britbongs. There are plenty of other examples too.

Both of the two are multi-faceted
With British you have scummy slummy slurry chavspeak and then you have formal eloquently enunciated northern English/north Londonian posh.
With American you have... cali, cajun, bostonian, jew yorkish/jew jerseyish, southern drawl, et all. And then you have based clear, unambiguous, unirritating, placid-yet-commanding midwestern English, specifically modern chicagolandish (wisconsinians enunciate too much like leafcucks, and minnoswedans are all heavily bork borkish in their speech)
Between the two, I like the way posh sounds but it would have to be in a midwestern diction because some bongistani words and phrases are lost on me.

Adding or taking out that "u" doesn't impact the pronunciation, unless you want to change it from like "kul-er" to"cah-loor", which I've never heard anyone, even a britbong, say.
