Pronunciation
General Questions
Correct me if I'm wrong but I've noticed that most Americans (I'm basing this on TV and films entirely as I'm from the UK) seem to like to throw the word 'Irony' around but never use it in the correct context. The most ironic word to misuse I would say.As far as accents go I love Northern English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish accents cos they're a lot more interesting than Southern accents. I also prefer working class accents as they have a lot more exiting variation, which I'm sure is down to mispronunciation but things would be dull without a bit of variation, eh? BBC English sucks and no one who's worth a damn speaks that way (warning: sweeping generalisations in process).I would have no idea where to start with American English, it all sounds odd to me. The Aloo-minum / Al-you-mini-um difference is a pretty great one though.
