You\'re right Racer. I think Videoholic is comparing himself to the way people speak on national television programs in the US. This is supposed to be our "ideal," but in fact it\'s very odd sounding compared to the way other people in the world speak English.
I am sick of american accents, including our bland television accent. I like hearing people speak English in an unfamiliar way. I like talking to my friends from Ireland and New Zealand. I like watching Sling Blade and listening to Billy Bob Thornton and Lucas Black speak in that pseudo Arkansas accent.
If there\'s any accent I really HATE, it\'s that dumb airheaded, incompletely educated, snobbish, UCLA sorority girl accent. The movie "Clueless" contains a glimpse of the accent I\'m talking about, but the reality is so much more excruciating! When I hear it I just want to KILL!!!!!
