Not getting of on anything mate. You made a claim that was totally false and were called out on it. You now won't, or more likely can't back up said claim so you've had to result in name calling and making claims of how incredibly amazing you think you are.
Personally I'd say that's pretty damn sad. Still, I suppose when you're getting paid an imaginary 40k for a discipline you know nothing about it probably softens the blow a bit ey?
Lol

This is a forum for destiny not an academic discussion, drop it bro.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you're the one that brought up the academic side of it? As I recall all I said was that there was no such thing as a "british" accent. You're the one that chose to get into dialects and started attempting to Lord you supposed educational prowess over others...

Ok let's recap; the British dialect, I.e British English, is a sort of umbrella term which encapsulates of a wide of varieties OF British English- Scouse, Welsh, etc- which also acts as a Standard level of English, a basic framework of English English. British English is a thing. Read a few papers by Peter Trudgill or read his book "Accents of English" if you care that much.

Edited by BadgermanPrime: 4/1/2015 6:42:36 PMI'll accept that however it doesn't change the fact that it was accents that were being discussed and not dialects(until you brought them up) Even if it were for arguments sake, an umbrella term for a group of dialects is somewhat different from a specific dialect is it not? I wouldn't of thought it needed explained but the original comment was directed at the fact that americans are under the very naive opinion that anyone from Britain has the same accent. You know the one, it's in just about any film/tv show/cartoon ever created by americans that features any character from Britain. The reality is that nobody speaks like that (admittedly nobody may be an exaggeration as it had to come from somewhere) there fore this mythical "british" accent does not exist.

I was marking a paper on spectograms and acoustic phonetics earlier so you can forgive for not going into detail. Please read a book, I cba.

Once again deflecting by bringing up something that has no relevance. Look I get it, you didn't bother thinking about what you were commenting on to start with. It's resulted in you not understanding what was actually said to start with and therefore arguing on a tangent. It's cool, everyone makes mistakes even if you don't want to admit it. Have a nice evening
