The British.

You know.. I have recently been thinking. which is a potentially dangerous thing. But I have been thinking, the British have an amazing accent. This revelation came to me while watching The Omen (1976 version). I could not help but listen to the accent and realize how comforting the British accent is. I could be robbed by a British person, at gun point and be the one feeling sorry. 'Oh you want my wallet. Please do take. It is serves no purpose and would look better in your hands.' And vice versa if I were to rob a British person somehow I would end up giving them my money for I would feel immensely horrible.

 

It's no wonder the The Galactic Empire was able to invade so many worlds. The world being invaded will just feel horrible if they try to stop the Empire. That is why all the important people in the Galactic empire had British accents.

 

And my final note on this. I would prefer a person with an authentic British accent tell me bad news. They could tell me I was going to die in seven days and I would likely be okay with it, 'Oh really? I'm going die in seven days? Well thank you for taking the time to tell me. Hopefully it didn't take too much time out of your day?"

 

Here it now, if I have a terminal disease I demand a British person tell me!

 

And that is all for my tiny blog entry. Also this is my random thoughts that go through my head at random times... Lack of sleep does this.

I find that rather... Illogical.

 

(This actually really ironic because his autobot form uses an american accent.)

I wish I knew what the reference here was but I will assume it is funny

Shockwave has a british accent in G1 and Animated. He's known for being really cruel and untrustworthy. He's also a double agent.

Ah.. That does make a bit more sense.. I only really watched transformers back in the Armada days.. Had alot of the sets as well. Always was wanting to get the unicron armada model yet it never happened..

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you're not reffering to Yobs, chavs, or people with cockney accents.

No I am not. And i am glad I actually know what a Yob is.. and it is not Year of Birth.

Or Liverpudlians, or Manchesterites, or Scousers, or Somerset or...the list goes on.

 

I presume you're only talking about Received Pronunciation?

Received pronunciation? I am afraid I do not know.

BBC English, Queen's English, etc. It's basically the accent that you hear from people with power, ie the Queen or politicians, because it sounds standard, educated and authoritative. Basically posh talk.

That's the one then. It's mostly prevalent in the south east these days, but it's on the decline, funnily enough. Even the Queen has been found to be developing hints of a Cockney accent.

 

(See, I knew those two years of English Language classes would be useful for something.)

*Smirks* Glad i could put your hard earned learning to use.. But if you ever watch the Omen (The Original) the lead male's accent is the one i like.
