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? -.-"

Bristow i love you. Im a brit and i watch family guy on BBC 3 (BTW the BBC kicks ass and FOX sucks) what they do and say on family guy is nothing like what you see in england. The only excuse an american can have for not understanding a film is if it has a liverpudlian accent which i too follow to stuggle. Lol at the fat joke :) I dont mind americans in fact i like the people except for theyre "we are better than you attitude towards all things" and how the country is just too damn powerful for its own good.
