Re: British English Vs American English
^^ Whatever you do Samouth, don't say No Wuckas in your translations. Maybe Stroppy isn't a good choice.

I guess the one who is supposed to check my work will have no idea about this word and he is not even a native speaker of English. Leave alone the Australian language.Username Taken wrote:^^ Whatever you do Samouth, don't say No Wuckas in your translations. Maybe Stroppy isn't a good choice.

Yes most of German words are really long.Therapist wrote:Samouth, be thankful you didn't have to write it in German.Jamie_Lambo wrote:
BTW. I think it is just a stereotype that saying Germans always shout when they speak English. I have got a bunch of German friends and theirs speaking is really fine. They don't shout like that.

Re: British English Vs American English
its not to do with the shouting, or how long the words are, or germans speaking english, in this video hes speaking german, its to do with how different they are and different sounding they are compared to the other parts of europe, how he is pronouncing them is not really stereotypical either, germany proud themselves with their consonants, they over pronounce them, it makes the words sound more aggressive, this is how germans speak in their native language 'Deutsche'....Samouth wrote:Yes most of German words are really long.Therapist wrote:Samouth, be thankful you didn't have to write it in German.Jamie_Lambo wrote:

Re: British English Vs American English
Samouth, congrats again.
To refer back to earlier posts and to explain how British and American English came to be different, here's a bit about Noah Webster, an American Revolutionary, who following America's (then colonists) war with Great Britain, from April 19, 1775 – September 3, 1783, call it a successful act of treason or fight for independence (truth be told, a bit of both) wanted to make America different and did so by changing the spelling of words and then having these changes taught to school children. This I read he believed would help the new nation stay a nation and help it feel superior to England (and reading posts here, it's hard to argue it didn't work).

Cheers!
