Well, my take here is that English language should be renamed to "American", and Brits should be forbidden to speak it, because they make it sound ridiculous.

Honestly, speaking as a foreigner, who has been learning English one way or another for half of his life, I cannot even attempt to speak in British accent without feeling like I'm doing a stand-up comedy. How can Brits speak with a straight face?



How can you type in English with your foreign accent? I can barely make out a word, and your pronunciation is terrible.


Sigh ... unpostcodes
