anyway god i just remember a while ago i watched some video american vs english accents and the example was in how we pronounce water and when this british dude said Wahder like the american way it fucking BROKE me. my worldview SHATTERED . i didnt realize we said it that way

#like all my life i saw the word water and pronounced it wahder and didnt realize it.#all my life we've always said wahder and nobody realized it #and it only hit me that hard because the guy was british anyway so hearing Wahder out of his mouth was like #SUCH a stark contrast that it really just. HIT #like O_O #anyway that video is the single reason why i can mimic a british accent but ONLY with the word water #dont ask me which kind of british accent. theyre all the same to me #brot posts #i guess too because water is such an. innocuous word like you dont expect that to be the one we say radically different #like haha we go on about vocabulary differences and what not but nobodys comparing accents by the word water #until that video. and its like. GODDD WE SAY WAHDER BRO . WE SAY WAHDER #my description doesnt do it justice i need to find the video #like yes i say wahder all the time and me writing this post isnt having that impact of some 100% british dude saying Wahder #with a completely accurate bland american accent
