I've always wondered if the difference between an American speaking English and someone from the UK speaking it is audible to a non native speaker.
It is. American English sounds as if people have a chronic ENT infection. But what am I saying being german.
When we moved to Pennsylvania my co workers were- amused by my accent. Same thing, honking voice

@ManiacLachy To my shame, I have never been interested in Australian English and New Zealand English. Locality probably introduces peculiarities into the language everywhere. And I really like your country culture and music. The British are such musical people and masters of mixing culture and music. I would like to visit both Australia and New Zealand. But alas.... Our politicians have eaten shit and are crowing like roosters.

By the way, there's an Australian woman's YouTube channel. She independently learned Russian from scratch. And she speaks beautifully. she seemed to live somewhere near Samara))) I deeply respect such people. And she's a damn beautiful woman.

Funny enough, some of the heavier Bostonian accents you’ll ever come across are from Rhode Island and Maine

As somebody that lived in southeastern Massachusetts, which is on the border of Rhode Island, I can tell you that the accents were pretty legit. Moved from Minnesota to Mass in 1987…not only were the accents thick, but also the hairspray on the high hairdo’s of the ladies.

Recently uncovered that sparkling water is acidic and can erode tooth enamel over time, especially if frequently consumed. Is nothing safe these days?!?

@Matt you’re not wrong with exception to CT

@flannel-slut yep carbonic acid. Even something so seemingly innocuous as carbonated water isn’t.
Though I don’t think it’s a substantial hazard unless one has some kind of pH balance issue.

Can I just complain about the quality of Vans these days. I‘ve been wearing them for years and specifically the authentic shoe; I love a simple canvas shoe for the summer and I‘ve had a lot of them. Now, I know vans isnt exactly a top tier shoe, but for a summer shoe it‘s fine.
In the past, I‘ve blasted through the top of the canvas with my big toe because apparently I‘m an aggressive walker, but by the time this happens I‘ve worn the sole almost out. However, last year and this year the shoe breaks where ever there is glue. It just comes apart and I don‘t even wash them. The rubber pulls away from the canvas and the side pulls away from the sole underneath. It litterally takes a few squats and and day of walking and it‘s already starting.
WTF mate.
