Worst English Accent

[Daisuk]

Love it when South Africans say "yaaah" in an almost exaggerated dutch way. Sounds so strange.

To be fair to them it IS an exaggerated Dutch way of saying yaah. Afrikaaans bro.

I hate scouse and geordie. But I think for me the worst would be a strong Essex accent - I just think to myself "YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTH EAST OF ENGLAND TALK PROPERLY!"

Not that I'm like a snob or anything 8-[

Speaking from experience?

Obviously can't speak for all of them, but I'd say enough of a sample size to say that with confidence.

Best: Scandinavians speaking english, Irish and welsh accents. South African is awesome too.

Worst: Australian. Was there for a few months, after the initial novelty the accent really started to grate on me!

The one that bugs me is the street talk of kids who speak perfectly normally in front of their parents. I hate being called son by someone younger than me and bruv by someone old enough to be my dad! I hate blud and shanking and all the gonads I have to hear dribbling out of these pseudo gangsta rapper, k Swiss wearing taco mouths. The accent makes girls sound dumb and like they need a good scrub.

Absolutely ridiculous, just makes me see red the second I hear it. It's not even an accent, it's an affectation. See that thing that makes the room get brighter at night? It's a light-not a laaaht.

As regards the Scouse accent, doesn't bother me at all but it sounds incredibly camp, all Scousers sound like Holly Johnson to me. Genuinely don't mind any British accents but English spoken in heavy French or Italian accents by people who consider themselves fluent really winds me up, that I guess though is down to the quality of their English teacher rather than the individual themselves though.

I don't think there is any accent that is terrible per se. It depends on the person. There are some examples of incredibly ugly scouse, geordie, scottish, australian and american accents, but also some nice versions.

I hate southern (US) accents. What I dislike even more is when I read emails from southerners who write "y'all" in their correspondence.

I hate anyone who write like they would speak. Makes you read in their stupid dialect.

It's annoying when you hear Geoffrey Boycott say "Crick eet"

I love the Irish accent on girls!
