Mostly referring to whichever accent it is that has trouble making sharp consonant phonemes.

Which ever one you normally hear when people refer to British accents. Like watching people imitate them on TV in American shows and such.

It's funny how NOBODY here actually talks like that though.
Like that British woman in Friends or Tiara Gold from HSM3.

@halty




Ah, it's the posh accent. When Americans say "British accent", they're really talking about Posh.

Lol I hope you know American English ain't normal. We got ours from you guys, then we screwed around with it and made a separate English language.

Explain please. "Ain't" isn't even supposed to be a word. But we might as well make it one.

There was this British TV show called "Some Girls".
These are basically London accents:

Depends where you go. But I'm assuming what British people think is an "American" accent is just a northeast white person accent. It just sounds normal. Same as a British account, but without the voice being slightly raised and such. Examples:



 - A doesn't sound like "ah"
 - Words like the word "name" aren't exaggerated.


British: Naame (when they talk, not how you spell it)
American: Name. Done.


Many more examples I'm not listing
