I post a lot. But also we have always had pretty good English education and high rates of internet connectivity. Plus we don't like talking to real people without being pretty drunk.

You just notice them more because a lot of them are at least bilingual. It's the same with Germans and the Dutch. I've been under cover among yanks for days before revealing myself. :ghost:

To be fair there's just a lot more of us in general than there are Australians or Canadians, like 5 times as many.

Blå rhymes with "bore" (in an English accent). If you're American (sorry :( ) don't pronounce the R sound at the end.

Haj just sounds like "high".

Last time I was in Scandinavia I left for Finland immediately. Then it was all caribou and salmiakki so I left there too.

Joke’s on me as I ended up back in Texas after that somehow :(

Yeah, that's obvious. I assumed that most goons here would understand that I was talking about "generic" American and "generic" English. I'm sure you'd argue I was being too optimistic. In any case I gave you an opportunity to be pedantic. Teamwork!

i am deeply offended by the idea of a generic english accent given that it would probably be rp (thank you so much)
