in the united States,say/ u-nai-did/----i just tapped that 't' thas in d middle of that united...aint that cool and novel?

well, in the US, better is pronounced in two ways

1. better= be/rur
2. better= bedur

pls note that the "d' in the second pronunciation guide is not actually, literally articulated D

its a mix of t and d...u just tap it just a little


like bottom= badum

and so forth

as for the Brits, its just drab...unremarkable bro

rago:


no disrespect Ms.

I assume the RP which is typical of the Brits accent that u r raving about is for YOUNGER SPEAKERS OF BRITISH ENGLISH and not not of d mainstream one which is incorporated by advanced, elite speakers.

my token

.....PLEASE STOP DERAILING THE THREAD!!!

Hila12:


Yeah most people new to British accents rather learn the RP cause it's true to clarity and easily understood. RP is what you hear on BBC news (broadcasters)

OXYGEN011:
I should stop detailing the thread and go and derail the p..u.s.s.y of your LovePeddler mum ryt. Village boy.

rokiatu:
British offcourse duh.

rago:


on BBC?
Fyn. buh its certainty not wat David and Samantha Cameron articulate. And neither does d queen use d RP.

by d way, the BBC isnt just english...its international...so u figure out y they use RP.

85% of their audience are non- brits.

in the US, BARACK OBAMA'S ACCENT IS D SAME AS ORDINARY AMERICANS!!!!!!

NO CLASS

SO MUCH FOR D BRITS

Hila12:

The Queen speaks 'posh' and also do many brits of royal lineage.

RP is used on BBC because it's easily understood by people who learned English as a second language. There are stronger English accents that BBC refuse to promote - because only the locals understand them.

Even in the US, the accents vary from West coast to East coast and beyond. A New Yorker sounds different to someone from New Jersey. And someone from South Carolina sounds different from a typical Amish.

rago:


wat d heck is *posh english? abeg!
BBC refuse to promote d mainstream accent. that certainly show ow linguistically and culturally conservative they are. I dnt thnk sane-minded people wud wana live in that world

as per d US having pretty varying accent in terms of regional diff, das true. buh d diffference in d accents is not considerably pronounced. General American is General American!!

americans are linguistically homogeneous! I adore em for that.

brits are just too damn 'serious and overly proper in every thing....

Hila12:

Brits regardless of their accents understand themselves pretty well. So why you tripping lol. Brits are not too serious...They are true to the language and what works for them.

I understand you prefer the American accent for the reasons you stated - but some people don't like the American accent for similar reasons too. We all different and have individual preferences. Cheers.
