Did it sound like, "ERRRRRRRRRRRRb"? You might be American. Say hospital visit Did it sound like bankruptcy? You might be American.

Also, say these words in order: Error, err, herb Could you hear no 'h' in the third word? Perhaps not? Do you find that acceptable? Because it sounds like this to us: Eh-raw. err, errb Which makes you sound like you are talking to your buddy Erb who just keeps reassuring you that calling room service at 4am for pork chops is acceptable, and also, your idea for a car is just great and that his business associate thinks your personal odor is above reproach Mr.Tophat fucked around with this message at 08:46 on May 4, 2016 |

vug posted:British English has copied a lot of crap from French but nothing as awful as 'erb English is a big melting pot of languages, or perhaps the avalanche of words is too much to realize such a thing from hearing the American parlance French people focus on the uh/ah sound when they speak, like, "oui", or "au avoir" Americans people focus on the sound coming out of their mouth, like 'I have the right to' and 'I shouldn't have to'

Drunkboxer posted:The "h" thing is actually you lame-os adorably freaking out about trying to not sound lower class and shoving the h sound in where it wasn't before. What, you mean like shoving the h sound at the beginning of the word when there's a h at the start of it? Like herb? Also, how do you feel about the words knackered, knave and know?
