British - fancy
America - normal
Australia - wildcard
America should be Eevee, because there are so many opportunities for variation.
America actually has very little geographic variation in accents.
In the UK, for instance, it can change drastically from village to village.
As a native speaker, I agree.
But the way check out c/Englishlearning if you are learning English.
There is not much there, but I’m happy to help and answer questions.
Do you know is there something like this for German?
Yes, there’s !deutsch_lernen@feddit.de .
I feel like all three of those accents have normal/fancy/wildcard options within them
I’ve had a scottish-texan accent for half a year once, and now I have an american accent sometimes while speaking german, my mother language, shit’s wild
You mixed up America and UK, who saysays an American accent is ever fancy lol
US is normal
UK is fancy
Aussie is wildcard
No. Wild card is you learned English in a foreign non English native country and your accent is an absolute mess. You say Autumn but Taxi, color but wa(t)er, and maybe you call you cell phone your “Handy”.
Also, you never considered pronouncing gif as “jiff” because your native language (German), where you heard it first, has no soft G.
I don’t think you choose, it’s just kinda what you grow up around
OMG our usernames can be emojis??
It’s a cosmetic thing. @mojo@lemm.ee here has set a display name in addition to their username, which I believe supports any unicode character.
Phew. I thought this could lead to Unicode in URLs, which can get nasty.
well they did have their own language until we fucked them out of it
But you already said American
They’re a lumberjack and that’s ok!
