Over the few months that I have been on RF I have noticed how some users seem to not speak english as their native language. If this applies to you or even if it doesnt, what is your native language?

I am an English native (South)

American English, unfortunately, in the non-accented MidWestern broadcast/radio standard. That is to say, I pronounce things "correctly" according to some sort of authority on the language. If you ask me, the Brits are the one who get it right. English sounds sexy when they talk. American English is just... meh.

Please don't ever say this to our faces lol. It really freaks us out and there are literally hundreds of accents in England alone, it varies by village practically. Which accent do you mean?

Well, I'm not well-appraised of the accent classifications, so I couldn't tell you. All I know is when I listen to BBC News or other productions, it's HAWT.
I suppose as an example, I dig Mr. B. Not just the accent... the entire 'let's go back to the era where men dressed well and had properly maintained facial hair.' :D

Haha wow, if you went to school in England and spoke with an accent like that the kids would beat you up it sounds so horrendously posh and uppity :tearsofjoy: Unfortunately Quint, for an accent like that you're limited to the Royal Family and some Conservative Party politicians haha.

Check out Geordie, Scouse, Essex and strong Yorkshire accents ;)

(British) English. I would like to learn some other languages some day, but for now English is all I've got.

In fairness, I wager that Mr. B is deliberately exaggerating, because that tone is exactly what the character is intended to represent. A posh, spoiled, chap/dandy rich Englishman out of 1880s or thereabouts. :D

Have you heard Douglas Murray's accent? I love it to bits.
