Thank you for agreeing, Ken.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
it does sound low class, that much is true.
also, calling anyone a "basic white girl" or "basic bitch" sounds ghetto too. It's what suburban people do to sound like they're hip. I imagine Miley Cyrus claiming she isn't one.
Because Hollywood always gives accented parts to morons.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

I sound like I'm from the Midwest. I wish I had a real accent instead of this concocted silliness.SuperJail Warden wrote:

You are just upset that people think your inability to use R's is a sign of a poor upbringing.
That's north Dakota/Minnesota. Different animal.SuperJail Warden wrote:
What do Midwestern people even sound like and how did they colonize our vocal cords with television? I imagine people in the mid-west sound

Can you post the section specifically about pronouncing R's? Your staunch defense of not pronouncing them leads me to believe you don't use them.Jay wrote:

My staunch defense is against you believing you're superior to anyone on any topic, but especially on something as silly as accent. You calling people low class based on their accent is laughable.SuperJail Warden wrote:

I pronounce my R's, child, but I'd rather have a nice thick New York City accent.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Ken agreed, not pronouncing your R's is a low class way of speaking. Only blacks and working class whites in a handful of poor places do it. Empirical data has shown it.
You don't have to be ashamed that you mispronounce the same words as Louisiana trailer park trash or the blacks in Harlem.
You don't pronounce your R's. That is why you got so offended when I said it was low class. Wasting all your time defending what you called "Yankee Coastal". Sure, you speak like a mid-westerner. Straight out of Fargo.Jay wrote:

You really shouldn't hate on black people you know. You're dark skinned rican. Exactly what do you think your racial makeup is? Pure Catalonian?
I defended the accents because I like accents and don't want to see them go away. I would be sad if everyone thought like you and worked to modify their speech to conform to General American.SuperJail Warden wrote:

Playing the race card I see. Typical.
