May 24, 2012 - You are taking what I am saying way too literally. By 'accent-less' all I'm meaning is the way the language was create to be pronounced. That is basically what it means anyways.
May 24, 2012 - Holy shit are you retarded? Everyone in the world has an accent its fucking physically impossible not to have one. What sites are you getting this info from because they have to be taking the piss. And if what your saying isn't you joking you need to see a doctor because you may have mental disabilities.
May 24, 2012 - It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. I don't care what some random idiot you claim to know said. The way the word is sounded out is the way it is supposed to be pronounced. You can't argue against that no matter how hard you try. There's a difference between 'kah' and 'kahr'. It isn't even that big of a deal. No idea why people have such a hard time wrapping their head around this easy concept. Feel free to do some research as I have done. Nothing further needs to be said.
May 24, 2012 - From a member linguistic department at UWIC:
"utter bollocks
no such thing as accentless
or "the true way words should be pronounced"
the only thing I can maybe think is sometimes AmE preserves the older english pronunciation (because they all went off in 17 whatever and didn't participate in any sound changes that happened here after that) but that doesn't make it "truer""
May 23, 2012 - Various places on the internet. Just search google and you'll find many resources. I also got it just by thinking it through. Seriously, think it through, accents are a slight mispronunciation or variation in the way a word is said. Sound out a word, like car. Which pronunciation sounds more correct, 'kah' or 'kahr'?
May 23, 2012 - I'll have to ask my linguist friends but I don't believe that's true. Where are you getting your research from. Please don't say wikipedia.
May 23, 2012 - Actually it is the closest way to the 'proper' way to speak the language. Modern day British accent has gone through many evolutions over the years.
May 23, 2012 - It's also the natural way people want to sing and pronounce the words. Take the word 'car' for instance. Take the spelled pronunciation. "kahr". Now take the British way of saying it. "kah". Which one is closer to the way the word is supposed to sound?
May 23, 2012 - The modern day American "accent" is a lot closer to the way the British used to speak than they way they speak now. The modern American "accent" is the closest to the way the language was created to sound like, meaning, there is almost no accent, so it's considered 'accent-less'. The British accent has gone through many evolutions over the years. Just do some research. It really isn't that hard.
May 23, 2012 - Um, no, that's because we hear American accents in pop music (heavily American-dominated) and copy that when we sing. I'm a choir member who sings bass, I sing with a British accent because I was taught to sing by British choral singers from a young age.
May 23, 2012 - There's no such thing as an accent-less language or dialect. The American accent isn't accent-less. People do have a tendency to speak the American accent because it's the most known and widespread english accent in the world.
You deem it accent-less because you think it's the proper way to speak the language. It's not. It's an accent like the British or the Australian. They're all correct and viable ways to use the language.
May 23, 2012 - Actually I believe it's because American singing voices are most commonly heard worldwide and that it leads to some level of imitation. American is far from a neutral accent, that much is for certain the first part is admitted hearsay.
May 23, 2012 - That is not "accent-less," and I'm embarrassed this post got 12 likes.
Standard American English is interpreted easily by the majority of English speakers and sounds very "neutral" to our ears, but it is, like every other, an accent. The fact that it is a dominant accent does not change this. This isn't a commentary on society or appropriateness, it's just the way language works. Look up GA/SAE.
