Basically the only thing that gets to me is trying to understand English people in movies. I pretty much have to put subtitles on to understand it fully. It is just the way the words slur together that it seems like gibberish to me.


... You're retarded -.-"


If you show most Americans movies like Snatch then I can assume most would probably have difficult time knowing exactly what was said during certain scenes.  Thanks for calling me a retard you douche.

No, I feel offended by what you've said, you're saying you can't understand the British accent, which is dumb and you said we slur words together when we clearly don't, especially not those you see in the films, they're all southeners who have posh accents and use words properly unless they're using slang, which still isn't slurring words together, that's what the Americans do, not to mention the umm... you know, when you umm... do that thing when you umm... have to umm... pause before you can umm... think of what you're umm... going to umm... say, I've heard that so many times when there's interviews with Americans or whatever, it's so funny how you can comment on an accent, saying you don't understand it, and then not realise how dumb most American commoners sound... and I love how you assume "most" would probably have a difficult time understanding what was being said...

 

It really annoys me how people (The majority I know of seem to be Americans too... ) think of British people as if we're a whole different species or something, and even go as far as to insult us, based on popular American cartoons (Such as Nigel from Family Guy...), yet they've never even stepped foot in England, which is a good thing, because if they did their fat weight would probably tip us over... derp, stereotype, right? -.-"

Take it easy man.  If you start getting irked by stereo types you'll spend all of your time pissed.  Just laugh it off.  Britain is effing awesome and you know it so why let bad stereotypes get to you?  Every country has their own idiots that stick out and that's what the rest of the world concentrates on when they want to belittle them out of jealousy.  Either that or it really is good natured ribbing.  That's why it's best to take it as a joke because it certainly isn't the truth.  (Not the whole truth anyways.)  

And by the way, most Americans see Britain and Canada as our closest friends.  We get a large part of our culture from the UK in one way or another.
