at what point in history do you think americans stopped having british accents
Actually, Americans still have the original British accent. We kept it over time and Britain didn’t. What we currently coin as a British accent developed in England during the 19th century among the upper class as a symbol of status. Historians often claim that Shakespeare sounds better in an American accent.
whAT THE FUCK
I’m too tired for this
Always add in the video that according to linguists, Native southern drawl is a slowed down British.
T’ be or not t’be, y’all.
Fun fact: Same thing happened with the French accent. French Canadians still have the original French accent from the 15th century.
Êt’e ou n’pô zêt’e, vous z’auts.
I’ve been trying to find this post for months. I’m freakishly obsessed with this and want the truth of what early colonists sounded like.
I get pregnant, throw a “gender reveal” party, cut open the cake to reveal a landslide of green m&ms. “what does green mean??” my relatives ask, scandalized. in their confusion, they fail to notice that the doors have been barred. they are now my captive audience. “settle in, folks,” I say, “it’s time for gender theory 101. I have slides.”
ALSO what’s with biowares thing of putting misogynistic content in their game and then tearing down female characters to prove a point as if those characters made the clothing choices themselves… Like Miranda’s skin tight latex suit is an absolute mess and the designers fucking know that so they put some dialogue here and there calling her a slut because obviously she shouldn’t have put on that suit for battle. Jack wears nothing but a harness that covers her nipples in an entire game and it’s totally her fault like she shouldnt have made the choice to wear it, she says it herself, “it was stupid to run around Topless in a prison” okay but then why did you??? Because you’re a fictional character and the choices you make are actually made by some guy who wants to make u look sexy that’s why. Edi is subjected to comments that are textbook examples of sexual harassment because the game devs made her into a Sexy Female Robot™ and they know it’s a sexist approach so they call her a sex bot through the mouth of another character, because hey, we are aware that this is a sexist boring trope but we also want to attract dudebros. Like you’re either a misogynist or not you can’t aim to please sexist people and claim that you strive for progresiveness. Stop that shit and hire more women, non white and lgbt devs to your team because I’m tired of sexy women designed by straight men and lesbians written by straight men.
