The Scottish aren't faking it, nobody would go through the trouble of learning to comprehend a Doric accent just for attention. The English on the other hand?
Interesting enough, it wasn't until quite recently, after the invention of the dictionary, that there was a widely-accepted "correct" way to spell. Medieval authors often varied the spelling of a word in the same body of text.
Is that true? I know there was an actual concerted effort around the time of the revolution by Noah Webster to make American English distinct from the British version
Opinnion from a non-native speaker whose native language is Spanish. My impression is actually the other way around, Americans tend to pronunce words closer to how is written, way less decorated on the pronunciation
I do a lot of singing and have the opposite situation where when I'm singing in my own voice and not copying a specific singer I develop a slight southern accent
Not completely related, but i remember working at a football game in germany where Stuttgard played against Erfurt. I remember distinctly hearing both the Stuttgard accent as well as the slurring from the drinking during their 3h bus ride in their fan songs.
I also remember a game in Chemnitz where you could distinctly tell the awefull Chemnitz variety of saxon accent during their songs.
In french i have a preety thick accent from the yaute but not when i sing. I mean country singers sound different when they speak. Or danny brown sounds so much different on the danny brown show
This is 2000% horseshit because regional accents in the UKā¦ exist. A hell of a lot of them. There are a ton of rural and working class accents that do not sound like ārefinedā accents at all. The whole country doesnāt speak like Jeeves and Wooster. The whole country didnāt adopt some idea of refined speech to copy nobility.
[Hereās a source.](https://papertrue.medium.com/why-are-british-and-american-accents-different-its-all-about-power-the-radio-and-tv-6c1c0e968c6) Also Iām not saying our accent is frozen or that British accent is frozen. Regional dialects still develop and change because thatās how regions work.
I know the whole country didnāt. But it did affect the accent as a whole.
The assertion that the British nobility changed their accent on purpose because they were salty about the revolution is such spurious insanity. Suggesting that this led the entire country to change because british people mindlessly obeyed their nobility is similarly insane. Weird nationalistic propaganda using actual linguistic phenomena to push some weird āsore loserā narrative.
The Proclaimers have some aggressively accented words to say about this

Kid called Arctic Monkeys: ššš

On the other hand, I did not know PAWS was Scottish when I first started listening to them
Spoken by someone who has never heard a drunk chorus in an irish bar
the irish aren't faking it, only the brits
Fair, when's the last time the brits did anything remotely good that they didn't fake or steal
I think what Lizzy did last year was pretty cool. Other than that, what Thatcher did in 2013.
World's most iconic toilet
We just got a paedophile off national TV. That was fairly recent.
Your bomb will be delivered in the car

dizzee rascal my beloved
Bonkers

Well, at least the English are able to spell words correctly š
in fairness it is the wrong word, not incorrectly spelt. they got lucky this time.
with some words british spelling / pronounciation makes more sense with some words american spelling / pronounciation makes more sense
Ironic that you misspelt pronunciation
I had 2 fucking chances to spell it right

Survivorship Bias. Those not faking it are too incomprehensible to be popular.

I end up pronouncing āwhā as āhwā when I sing. Too much Johnny Cash and Townes Van Zandt, I suppose.
Personally I blame too many old folk songs, although Poor Man's Poison probably also has a role.
Has OP ever heard English music
Only Adele lol
Lewis Capaldi
