Well, I see many people online who think "Britain" just means England ja. It would be kinda strange if he was referring to all the accents of Britain, though I did think that could be teh case slide

I mean, like, there are like dozens of like different accents per country I mean, you'd still say Marius speaks with a German accent right? RIGHT?

Like, I'm with dadudemon on this one.

That is different though. A foreign accent tends to come about by certain, usually common, traits that foreign language has, which carry over into the language in question. For example the lack of "w" or "th" sounds in German. Which makes a foreign accent often very similar, so that you can almost say there is only one German accent for English (not quite if you want to be extremely technical of course, but most people don't hear differences in pronunciation that clearly anyways). Naturally occurring dialects and accents within a language on the other hand develop over long periods of time and diverge from each other a lot.

Ever since "Goddess Kali" aka "Latino Stallion" left the boards, KMC has lacked an overly flamboyant gay Latino; it's about time someone filled the role.

Edit: Re-read the discussion, I understand where you're coming from as there is clearly a difference between, say, a Scottish or an English accent. It makes no sense expecting people from the US to know the difference between a Kentish accent or an Oxford one.

It does when they claim that they find a British accent sexy, cause that doesn't make sense without clarification.
