Why does everyone think that us Brits all talk like the Queen (stereotypical'British' accent)?
Has any foreigner heard of 'Up North'? Like Yorkshire for example? A Yorkshire accent is the furthest you can get from the stereotypical 'British accent'. We may be a small little island but we manage to cram more accents on it than all of the USA.
A few examples are: 'Yorkshire', 'Lancashire', 'Mersey (Scoucer)', 'Londoner', 'Southener' and 'Jordie'.
These are completely different from each other BUT ALL are nothing like the typical 'British' accent.
AND That's just a few examples of ENGLAND. There's bound to be more in WALES, SCOTLAND, IRELAND and Nr. IRELAND.
I hate it in films where directors pick 'the typical British accent'. Its just so wrong. We know that every single America doesn't talk like the people in, lets say 'Friends', so we don't copy it into our films. Yet the Americans do it to us.
I would be very disappointed if the British got ONE single accent, rather than a selection of a couple.
Come on. If you put a scouce, a Yorkshire, a red-neck, an Italian, a Canadian, an Indian, a French an African and a Mexican accent in Halo 2, would that not create a more believable sense of the whole world united as one against the Covenant?
Er weve kinda of already gone through this me and ash55 uve jst expanded it so lets get back to Halo 2
