Creshosk, that argument I just read spanning three pages, was utterly pathetic on your part. I honestly can't believe you think you know a lot about British culture, when you've never been here and all you can pull out of your hat is a list of accents. So what you've read about some accents? Maybe you've even read about fish and chips and pies and Leicester square, it doesn't mean anything, you can't actually learn about culture like that; it's not that easy. Reading about accents would mean you wouldn't even be able to identify them if you were to hear one, what a useless *** bit.

Admit it, you're biased; it's not letting you be objective.

I'm biased to the degree that I myself am British and I find it insulting that someone would have the bare faced cheek to say, that they knew all about the culture I hold dear through reading, yes. The lad may well know about the accents, but if he'd only read about them he wouldn't know what a scouser was till one moves next door.

Robtard's right, you're biased. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
Unless you'd like to pick up the slack that the blowhard refused to pick up. Ask me a specific question rather that being an insufferable git and not defineing what it is they want. All the blow hard wanted to do was *****, whine complain and be right. He didn't care that he was wrong. as I suspect you don't either.
"I honestly can't believe you think you know a lot about British culture,"
I learned more about your culture from a book than blowhard did by actually coming here like he claims he did, which I doubt.

Oh please, a scouser is someone from liverpool, a Liverpudlian as it were, its derived from the name of a local stew of meat, vegtables and hardtack(a sort of biscuit), being short for lobscouse.
Fun fact:
The Britains were the only culture to have never come up with the concept of a comb; I got that from my "bathroom" book.
Dirty nappy haired Celts, running around half-naked and worshipping trees. Lucky for 'you people', the Romans found it in the goodness of their hearts to educated and civilize you.

Yes, but would you be able to identify the specific accent, when you heard it, just by reading about it? I think not.
It's not exactly easy for me to think of a specific question to ask you. Because, as I'm sure you know, culture is a vast subject, with many parts it inexplicable to those who haven't seen it.
Originally posted by chillmeistergenI'd fare better than someone who didn't study the inflections. I at least have a chance. Can't say for certain until I actually heard it.

Is it really hard to believe someone would do research in case they ever did wind up going there? I haven't been yet. But if I do go I think I'd fare better than one who hasn't bothered to do the research.

I honestly don't think that knowing all the English accents is going help you. Knowing who not to start fights with, not asking for a 'bud' in a 'local's' pub, knowing how to have a good time and not spout off info about Abe Lincoln whenever possible, would probably be a lot more handy.
I'm sure if you were to say to a scouser ''You're called that because of a local kind of stew'', you would be far from accepted with open arms into Liverpudlian culture.
Originally posted by chillmeistergenI'd probably refrain form calling them by anything other than their name. Seems a bit rude to soley refer to someone as to where they're from or how they speak anyway.

And I only mouthed that off to you cause you said I didn't know what one was.
