Indians with fake English accents

cosmodrift

If I choose my clothing according to the fashion my clothes are fake? If I buy the exactly same car of a friend because I like it, is my car fake? If I adopt an accent for daily use because I like it is that faking?
So everything else is fake. We are always emulating something, following tips of others, dressing like others we see on TV or on the street.
It does not mean we are faking.
It's what you do that counts, not the way you sound like.
You call that fake, I call that style. Less aggressive.

It would be stylish if were to speak like 50 Cent?

There's nothing to chill about Jones. We are just having a conversation.

Del, there are thousands speaking and dressing like 50 cent. Maybe tasteless for some, including myself, but definitely not a reason to believe that "a small thing like that would tell so much about that person" in a negative way.

Yeah, they're called Americans.

How cool would a Chinese or a Serbian or a Brazilian (if you still think I'm attacking Indians) appear with a 50 Cent accent?

That would be awful, but, once again, not enough to question their personality. It is a matter of taste, or bad taste only. If you can't understand that after all that have been written so far, maybe you have an English problem.

I write for a living. In English.

Surely taste is a trait of personality. A person's taste in music reveals things about their personality, as does their choice of cars. Surely 'choosing' to acquire an accent which is alien to you reveals something about you as a person, and that's personality?

I take issue with retarded dwarves who question my grammar.

I also 😀

'Contemporaneous with' or 'contemporaneous to', on such small blocks is our civilisation founded..

No one is questioning your grammar, Del and if I start exchanging insults with you I would be in contradiction with all my posts. My posts were very clear and in more than one occasion you said you did not understand where I was on about. So, since your grammar is ok, maybe your interpretation is the issue, but I just think the real problem is your stubbornness, being a fact you are worried who's ahead or behind in this dialogue. In fact, this attitude of yours makes things very clear why you created a post like this.
I am just killing time. 😎

I'm from Australia where the only language required to speak is English so we have it easy. I don't care what name other nationalities take on or accents they form, they are trying to learn another language such as English. I think we should be thankful they know English as I would love to know another language.

I embrace people from other countries who learn English and try. I am from Australia where we don't need to know any other language except English. I would love to know another language. I'm jealous!

Nina, I am from the UK and agree, I think we are showing our laziness by not learning another language. I have schoolboy French which I have used and slowly improved over the years, but it's still dire!

I never comment on, let alone criticise the English of anyone whose first language is not English. It's an awful thing to do, but it happens so much it's unbelievable 🙁

I wish I could learn Arabic or Chinese but who has the time (and my knowledge absorption isn't what it was either....😀 ).

Nina Simone was one sexy singer. You related??

rudeboy

It's not the language I'm referring to - it's the accent.

I come from south London but how would I be perceived if I tried to speak as if I went to Oxford, Eton or Harrow?
