No, but the British do find our use of English humorous.
Lol not really I mean everywheres different, like in america each state has their own accent (I think) and its more or less the same here but a lot of people over here just kind of assume theres just one accent for the whole country you know the main accent thats always on tv whatever it is, the accent the people on friends have lol, and I bet all americans assume that british people speak really posh like the prince or queen or something haha.
ok let me clarify... i'm not talking about accent or annunciation... i'm talking about the words we use to describe diffrent things....
example: i think it's hilarious they say boot/bonnet for trunk/hood.... lol
Oh you mean words lol not really I mean we dont use them but we still understand what they mean...
I cant think of anymore now.. ermm...
Lift = Elevator
thats the only one lol, we more or less use the same words really
no every state doesn't have their accent, but there are diffrent sections of the US that have their own (although some states are known for their accents) but basicly it's just southwest, southeast, northwest, and northeast..... now every state does have their own little special bit they add.... but for the most part in those areas, it's pretty much the same.Quote:

and no, while i can't identify them, i know yal don't all talk the same.... for instance, i know british tend to get really mad when you say they're from england lol.... or something like that....
I always figured they think we talk like Texans haha
dont you call a cigarette a fag?
I love the texan accent lol reminds me of steve austin.
yeah hahaQuote:

I speak Pittsburgh-ese
Haha yeah thats another one fanny over there means ass doesnt it? over here means pussy so if a girl over here asks you to fuck her fanny make sure you get the right hole or you might end up getting a slap.
weedmaster, its called a fanny pack haha
i'm probably the poster child for texan accent... not really the cowboy thing, but the slow drawl of my voice....

Walk into a bar in the U.S. and ask if ya can borrow a "fag". You'll either get arrested, beat up, or pinched on the ass.Quote:

American's immitate a posh Queenesque acccent because they can't do a scouser or a geordie, hell they don't even know what they are lol. It's funny because i'm half Enlgish half American but was born in London, i lived in America for 2 years and i visit there like every year pretty much. I don't like America's harsh drug laws, well at least in NJ and no free medical care and expensive ass colleges. I don't like london anymore because of what a chav hole and gang central it's become, it's expensive as hell and picking up can be a hassle sometimes. Which is why i can't wait to move to the Netherlands...
Words i can think of right now are:
Candy/Sweets
Sidewalk/pavement
Sneakers/Trainers
Cletes/Boots
Soccer/Football
Football/American Football
American slang for ganj that i know, dank, piff, dro, fire, kush, kb, beasters, mids, schwag
English: Draw, skunk, punk, puff, benz, hen, score, 2 and a blue, pox, thai, 9bar, zute, bill up
Puma is pronounced differently, aswell as Adidas and Nike
I know there's more but i can't think of any at the moment.

Good lookin out.
A benz is 1.7
A hen is 3.5
A 9bar is 9 O's
A score is 3.5, 20 pounds
A zute is a joint/spliff
Pox is hash
I say hella.
But I can say it becuase I'm from Northern Cali, where Hella was created.
I was spittin' the H-word before a lot of you cats even heard it before.
I know it from southpark
Actually, I really like the way you guys over the pond use English. The slang is really interesting for me to hear.
Oh, and hyphy, other than South Park imitations, I haven't really heard hella outside of Nor Cal.
I do think americans talk funny, I think English people talk funny too. I can only reconise a texas accent from America. England/UK is a funny place for accents, within 100 miles there can be loads of different accents. I hope a lot of Americans dont think we all sound posh like they portray us on TV.
Im used to hearing American words such as sidewalk and trunk, and how you say tom-ate-o instead of tom-art-o because I have watched a lot of American TV programmes. You guys make some fantastic TV and movies.
Some English, Scottish and Irish people dont like to be just classed as british, I dont care though.
Actually, to me there's nothing funnier than going to a Chinese restaurant and chatting with with one of the workers in English, and then have them have the strongest Asian accent you've ever heard. We actually had one guy explain it to us while we ate. He says when we talk to him, he at first tries registering what we say in Chinese. Then when it doesn't make any sense he tries it in English and that's why it takes him a few seconds to reply. He's a good guy, always wearing some sort of different hat when we go up there.
