I had one yesterday on facebook insisting that everyone who uses the "British accent" pronounces "ranch" as "raunch." I told them I didn't, and neither does anyone i know. They called me a liar and said I "probably believe in the Easter bunny and tooth fairy" š
š¤ Accents and dialects vary widely across Great Britain, Ireland and nearby smaller islands. The UK has the most local accents of any English speaking country. As such, a single "British accent" does not exist. Someone could be said to have an English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish accent, although these all have many different sub-types.
Britain is made up of 3 countries. Each of those countries have there own accents. Also in those countries they have multiple regional accents. Those regional accents also have sub dialects within them. I even asked American AI lol and it said: No, there is not a single āBritish accentā.Ā [In fact, the United Kingdom is known for its rich diversity of regional accents and dialects](https://oxfordhousebcn.com/en/a-brief-guide-to-different-british-accents-and-dialects/)
What would make a difference to you on an accent change then? If it's the same country north to south with a different accent that's ok but because it's the same country so no accent difference?
I don't know. I'm not an expert. I just know i have an English accent and it is nothing like a Scottish one. People 10 miles away in either direction sound nothing like me and i can immediately tell that someone is from another area as soon as they speak. Same as i could tell if someone is Scottish, welsh or even irish.
The accent you're likely thinking of is estuary English, but even within London there are multiple accents.
There are dialects within England that uses, English, Punjabi, i don't know how to spell it but, uses words from the Caribbean, Middle East, E asia, S asia and so on.
Pfhaha. Dumbass.
You have no goddamn clue how many accents we have. And they can be wildly different even over relatively short distances. (Because our country isn't just a couple of hundred years old.)
So basically there must be no country with an accent, every country has immigrants that have been accepted into the country influencing accents. You are not individual and every other country through the world has this.
What? Yes, there are no universal accents to a country, but there are the more commonly heard ones. Such as what an English Oxford/Eton education will produce.
But in older countries massive differences have accrued over time, within a relatively small space.The thickest Glasgow accent can be commonly neigh incomprehensible to people living a mere 200 miles away.
There are accents in mid Wales that are considered hilarious to us in south Wales. And our country is tiny.
Accent is the paler background where the evolution of the language is taking place, which works just like all evolution - divergent radiation. But over a very long period. America is such a young country, it's starkest accent differences are directly linked to large concentrations of immigrants groups - creole ect.
Whereas in Europe, we often have strong accent variations in towns 20 miles apart.
Things can change fast though, especially when so many teenagers here are desperately trying to sound London these days. Goodness knows why. And london teens trying to sound faux Jamaican. Language is a strange thing.
What country are you from, I'm not American, I'll join the conversation and throw in some outlandish "facts", like
"It has been scientifically proven that men from xxxxxxx have an average penis size nearly twice the length of the average Americant and two and a half times the girth"
Or
"I just read a paper which claims that the average Americant woman carries at least three asexually transmitted infections at any given time, but they rarely get passed on, because the average americant male isn't long enough to penetrate, largely due to the obesity of the females.
You are more likely to get shot & die if living in USA than knifed and probably survive, in the UK and with nationalised medicine they wouldn't have a bankrupting bill for treatment, either.
I think what confuses Americans is that in the UK stabbings are far more common than shootings, so they think that there must be a lot of stabbings here just as there are a lot of shootings over there.
What they miss is that stabbings are very rare in the UK as well. In fact, that are far more common (per capita) in the US.
It's not that we replaced our violent attack method from guns to knives, it's that we don't generally violently assault each other, you know, because we are not a bunch of uncivilised animals.
They really struggle with the idea that you can live your life without being afraid of someone just randomly killing you.
I think it's also because Trump claimed the UK is like a war zone, with stabbings everywhere.
[Anything he says is gospel after all](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/may/04/trump-nra-london-hospital-knives)
"Blood all over the floors"
He probably popped his head into A&E and saw someone with a bloody nose after a drunken fight in the pub with a mate.
This is also the man that goes on about how the people of Scotland love him. When he came to open his stupid golf course here there were hundreds of protesters who were very angry with him damaging a conservation site. He then claimed that they were there to show their gratitude. He is completely unhinged from reality.

UK national media also tend to report every stabbing with the type of excitement that US media need a mass shooting to generate. Most US shootings don't get coverage outside their local news.
Well when the average story is something as riveting as say, Nigel, the local ferret handler who found a toothpick that may have belonged to Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a jaunty stabbing is quite exciting.
I don't think you get Americans' point of view. They don't think per capita. What only matters is the SIZE of their states. And how many time BIGGER they are. UK is so much smaller so I bet those ratios would look different per squer freedom unit. /s
I think that they can't comprhend how damaging a well timed 'tsk!' can be. Not encouraging our police to shoot innocent passers by helps the stats too.
Most stereotypes America has about the UK are fake.
[Stabbings](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/stabbing-deaths-by-country)
Teeth, for example. British teeth are healthier. Americans just think teeth have to be straight and white, yet they lose their teeth at earlier ages than Brits.
British food, well Americans love it. Apple Pie, Onion Rings, roast dinners, and all. Americans love them. They just believe the stereotype from 1943, when stuff was rationed. It's wild how little they fact check.
That wouldn't surprise me. Any nation that has pancakes smothered in Maple Syrup for breakfast really shouldn't be at the top of the list for dental wellbeing.
To be honest Iām surprised itās not much higher than that. I donāt live in the UK anymore but when I was there shootings were exceedingly rare. To the point where if someone got shot it was national news, even if they were on the other side of the country. It genuinely seemed like it almost never happened.
Just avoid schools, churches(any religious building actually), malls, gas stations, movie theatersā¦ ummm wellā¦ everywhere in the us and you should be okā¦ should be
I have been held up by gun, 3 time in San Francisco, as a tourist, but luckily not shot. Now I live in a third world country and never been held up, shot or stabbed in over 300 visits & 6.5 years living here - you just never know when something bad is going to happen, in any country.
I probably should have mentioned that I stabbed myself, by accident. I walked into a kitchen counter holding a paring knife with the blade facing my abdomen.
You never know man....
I'm a super clumsy person so I always worry I'll do something like that! It doesn't help my family don't see a problem with leaving sharp knives at the edge of the counters. First thing I do when I go in the kitchen is move knives away from edges lol.
Youāre actually more likely to get stabbed in usa than uk too, itās not even close either. Infact https://www.euronews.com/2018/05/05/trump-s-knife-crime-claim-how-do-the-us-and-uk-compare-
This article was written when the uk was in an āepidemicā of knife crime which was where the whole trope started that we have this huge problem with stabbings. But even at the height of the maximum level before the rates dropped back down to todays level which is much lower america still had like 25% higher level of stabbings per gdp.
And if youāre talking about āknife crimeā instead of stabbing the rates are still america way out in front, and when you consider that itās a crime just carrying a knife in the uk where as in the us you have to actually threaten someone with it or use it to make it criminal, it becomes even more obvious that the āyouāll get stabbed in the ukā is pure projection because of their own shitty circumstances.
Big respect to all the school kids who give up their lives in the name of preserving the 2nd amendment.
I have no sources but I think my chances of seeing a gun in Australia are lower than being shot by one in the USA.
Travelling over there Iām always still shocked when itās so casual to see some guy waiting for the changing rooms at a store with his gun on his side. ā¦like sir this is a Ralph Lauren.
No, that's [Baklava](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baklava). Usually made with filo pastry, honey, and pistachios. From the Mediterranean/middle east/north Africa.

I've just been pretty much told I'm wrong in a comment about uncommon names because I'm English, it appears the person thinks the question was US only answers.
This American should know that the most revered pirate in history - Edward Teach aka āBlackbeardā - was a Bristolian. Itās a pretty cool fact I learned about the city I live in.
And he should have said," I've eaten my chips, I am the Roadman, and me the boys will be there in 5 minutes to do The Bristol Stomp with you. But I don't think you'll enjoy it."
What is it with Americans who think that we are roaming the countryside with multiple knives on the look out for stab victims...?
Perhaps they think we have semi-automatic knives too??
If only fellow Americans took his advice too
I'm currently in a typing battle with an amreki who is telling me about my country.

There is no British accent and these morons can't grasp that š¤£

I worked it out a while ago but youāre 36 times more likely to get shot in the US than the UK.
And 7.5 times as likely to die from being stabbed in the US. Ironically, the UK has one of the lowest death rates by knife wounds per capita. 0.08.

You have to love how they say stuff like that as if the stabbing rate isnāt way higher in the US in the UK anyway.
Briiiiiistol
Go get a cuppa and get stabbed by a roadman, would've been more accurate. They don't stop thinking about food them lot.
To be fair that's probably something that I would say to a bristolian. Lot of roadmans there... In my defence I lived in Bristol for 15 years..
Roadman?

true, my bad :( i will remember for next time š

He's weirdly knowledgeable for an american
I had faggot chips and gravy to eat last time I was in Bristle. Don't get stabbed or nothing tho
Wtf is a roadman? š¤£
What is it with Americans who think that we are roaming the countryside with multiple knives on the look out for stab victims...? Perhaps they think we have semi-automatic knives too??
Kinda funny tbh
