I nearly shit in my pants laughing when I saw this.

Looks like it's official, British people are snobs.

Quite! And for good reason

LMFAO!

Now, bow before me Cougar, you pleb!

Lol trust CNN to come up with a poll that is so stereotypical.

Oh, and yes I am a snob, and you Cougar are a vile, filthy cretin

I think they have got that wrong though, it should be "Are the English snobs?" because we all know that the majority of people from the US dont know that Scotland is part of Britain.
/stereotype

I hate it when US movie stars refer to England as London!

I know that Scottish people are the least understandable of all the people who speak english.

yeah I do agree with you there Cougar. It is one of the things I hate most about being Scottish. The majority of the Scottish people are below average intelligence and are too lazy to bother pronouncing words properly. Also the Scottish version of English is a commoners language!

yes I probably just insulted a lot of people, but I dont care.

I'm interested to know what Americans think about accents from NE and NW England. Do you recognise Geordie (people from Newcastle) and Scouser (Liverpool) accents straight away? or do they just sound like some fucked up South African or some shit?

I've really only heard one type of accent, no thanks to stereotypes. What kind of accents do the SAS in BF2SF have?

[American] Oh hello, you sound like you come from England.
[Me] Yeh thats right, the south coast.
[American] Near london?
[Me] Well, not really.
[America] Oh.....
[Me] Well i spose im only an hour or two away.
[American] Near where the Queen lives then?
[Me] No.
[American] You ever met the Queen?
[Me] No....
[America] What about Tony Blair, i really like that guy.
[Me] Again, no.

Ha ha, America must not like us much. Oh well, no loss

lmao I can't believe that a 'News company' would post a poll like that. There's only one option people are gonna click when they see that! It's like the BBC posting a poll "Are all Americans fat and loud?"

Rofl

The accent the SAS have in BF2:SF is something out an medival jousting tournament.



I mean I can tell the difference between a Canadian and American accent if they talk enough and say the right words (aboot). Anyone got any good examples of Geordie or Scouse accents they can post or link to?

[true story] Was on a college trip to New York last year, was in the hard rock in times square, was in the queue chattin to some mates. Some loud american woman, with about 3 little annoying blonde kids, goes "Oh my god, are you Eng'er'lish. Me."Nope sorry, im Irish".Her, "Ah you all sound the same anyways, where do live?" Me,"Manchester".Her, "is that near london".Me, "Erm, not really." Her, "But you must have met prince william surely, Englands not that big is it?". Was so fuckin scared
