To be fair whenever I hear someone with an accent not mine who speaks English I always consider their accent illegitimate. Not in a xenophobic way, it's just that that's how I talk, and I hear myself talk far more than I hear other people talk, so it just sounds ever so slightly wrong when I hear someone with a British accent or a Spanish accent. Even people with slight Southern accents sound goofy to me. And I don't think that's odd, I just think it's natural and subconscious.

i yearn for the days long ago when i could make a post and it would be taken as hyperbole and exageration and not as literal truth. rip those glory days you will not be forgotten.
course i dont hate them as ppl, they arent on par with terrorists or somethin lol. but yes i do hate pretty much all accents and im includin 'yall' in there as well. except i love the italian new yorker and staten island accent. |

What really pisses me off is when people are distrustful of science, then in turn go to pseudoscience to justify their misled beliefs. I know Paul is with me on this one.
