What kind of English do you like to hear?

Makes me think of Ian Paisley.

 

It's kinda fun to listen to high-class German women talk "slutty" using their schoolbook English....

 

For example?

 

Mid western English.

 

Well, I can't replicate that here, but such monologues by German women speaking English can be, uh, highly detailed and rather alluring....

 

I greatly enjoy it a lot when people don't begin every single, stinking, damned sentence they speak with the word, "So...."

It started out as a California thing, I think, around fifteen years ago, but people still do it -- and it just DRIVES ME NUTS!

 

Yes they do, there are parts of the south I have a problem understanding and I am from the south.

 

So, does ending every sentence with ''know what I mean'' also affect you mental wellbeing?

 

You make a good point.... Spoken and written American-English has sunk to the level of 'the-lowest-common-denominator', indeed!

Every German I know certainly speaks better English than 90% of American citizens, and that's the truth.

 

Every German you know, but that certainly hasn't been my experience. Of course it's been a while since I bounced around Europe, but The Netherlands seemed to have by far the higher percentage of English speakers who spoke excellent English.

 

Some Germans do the same

 

Another one here is like the use of the word like in every like sentence.

 

What kind of English do you like to hear?

I prefer English used with proper grammar.

 

I like Southern accents. New York accents. Jamacian accents. Is Ebonics considered an accent? Or is that a dialect?

 

Kate Beckensale English.

 

I can’t answer that, but the wife and I have been watching a lot of English cop shows for a break from the sameness of US shows and social “box checking”. (except for “The Rookie”)
And I find myself mystified as much by the slang and country jargon as the accents themselves.

 

Who is this Kate?
