re: people who speak in foreign accents when they're not from that country

whiterussian [Edit] [Delete] 01:38, 3 May '09

or however that thread title went. (i speak in a british accent even though i'm not british, does that make me a cunt?)

i was talking to my housemate about the film amelie and he asked me how i'd pronounce the name, i guess i'd mentioned it before or something, because he pronounced it as you would emily, only with an a in the place of the e obvs. when i pointed out that that's not how that particular name is pronounced, he said that i don't understand english accents. how is that relevant, when it's not even an english name?????? wtf.
