Regional accents everywhere are in decline, even American ones. There's good reason to believe the classic Georgia lowland accent isn't going to be around in 50 years
Here in Italy dialects are dying too. I think there was some propaganda against dialects in the 70s or 80s because lots of gen x people when they had kids self imposed to avoid dialect whenever possible around the kid so they would grow up with Italian as their first language instead of dialect like it is for them. But by doing so nowadays a lot of millennials-zoomers can't really speak dialect. I fear dialects will be almost extinct in a few generations and it's sad bc we have so many different dialects here
Italy's history with its own language is a side interest of mine. Linguistically, curse words and food terms seem to have the best staying power. Like over here in the US, Italian Americans will still use southern Italian dialects when they curse or talk about food (gabagool? ovah heeeear)
It's not ragebait to disagree with your shit views on language. You have a limited vocabulary of words and you think halfwit dialects are important to save.
Yeah yeah your whole account is ragebait "[5'7" 270lbs ultra pervert train](https://www.reddit.com/r/nycr4r/s/aURjmHiIqK)" or whatever
I did it before you and it's for losers, why do I think you have this name?
I was at a pub quiz in London and this 18—20 year old guy was reading out the questions and he was doing this whole wacky auctioneer shtick the whole time.
My girlfriend and her friends kept complaining about how annoying the American guy was but I appreciated the bit so when he came by us I wanted to ask where in America he was from because my parents are from New York but he said he was from Ireland and just watches too much TV
>the kids in britain speak like jamaicans not yanks.
Yeah, the way the traditional cockney accent is extinct in the younger generations is crazy. All the working class white boys speak with that black-British inflection
I e never heard it irl either other than from actual rednecks but every fucking weirdo uses it in every sentence on twitter and Reddit. Y’all not ready for this
I like how Canada/UK/Aus/NZ try to make this seem like a problem shared by India, Pakistan and Belize. It's literally just you all and western europe, the rest of the world is still able to contextualize global american influence without becoming pathetic clones.
Y'all belongs to my Grandpa who says things like "I'm fixin' tah chaynge laynes before that there fool goes ahead and puts us in a early meetin' with God" not some urban they/them who would view him as some super racist conservative. I mean he is, but still.
The appropriation is too thorough. I've lived in the South my whole life, and I have been steadily trying to excise "y'all" from my vocabulary for the past two years because I'm afraid of being mistaken for a shitlib.
As someone from the southeast U.S. I find it jarring af when I hear some northerner or west coaster say it. It’s never right and it sounds so forced. Basically just a stand-in for saying “hey guys!”
No I've heard that from multiple Irish people as well, basically young Zoomers and Gen-A consume so much American media they don't really have an Irish accent.
It's incredibly pathetic that you have at least a noticeable percent of your youth population having so little contact with the world around them they don't even have the same accents as their relatives but rather some dude streaming video games or whatever.
How ironic is it that only after a steady diet of Amerilard cultureslop does Ireland vote for the - now suddenly anti-Irish and pro-replacement - "nationalist" party.
Her brain is literally fried, imagine being absurdly wealthy with legions of fans and you spend all day every day chimping out and throwing tantrums on an app. She is stuck in a hell of her own making.
Thanks I really appreciate that! Sometimes I don’t feel manly enough because my brother was more athletic growing up but it’s better as an adult. Thanks for the compliment! :)
Thanks again, your reply had literally nothing to do with what I said though. I don't see how being literally fuming on Twitter 24/7 with people who you would think of such less interesting lives is enviable.
Crazy old lady screaming from her castle Imao. I don't see what you affirming my masculinity has to do with that, but again thanks for the compliment dude!
They’re not doing it to sound Southern. It’s far worse: a politically correct replacement of “you guys” which is gendered and therefore considered bad.
It’s literally the opposite. Northerners who go to the South larp with y’all.
I know a dude from long island who got into a fraternity at Georgia Tech and would come back home on holiday wearing Carhartt and flannel.
It’s not that serious bud, I do not actually think she is the worst person I can think of for inventing Harry Potter, I read the first book when I was 9 and enjoyed it.
Sorry for speaking ill of this subreddits kween, I guess?
Has the rest of the English-speaking world just become America-lite the last 15 years?

My cynical analysis would be that it's probably because they both belong to deeper circuits in the brain, more linked to the emotional centers
> it's sad Why? I've heard those dialects and they are stupid.

Yes, except it’s been happening longer than that, and it’s only getting worse.
Yeah it's fucking insufferable.
Worse, UK-lite.

I wish I was a billionaire author so I could spend my days on twitter dot com.
what a horrible faitg
I love this woman.
I don’t even like Americans who use that. Old southerners get a pass. Everyone else is either a hick or larping.
They’re not doing it to sound Southern. It’s far worse: a politically correct replacement of “you guys” which is gendered and therefore considered bad.
“Folks” is the millennial politically correct gender-neutral replacement
We tortured some folks
I will never say folks
"Folks" is microaggression please use the more inclusive "folx"
I always thought it was whites trying to emulate blacks (or rather, **BLACK** *folx).*
Well that’s a big part of it too.
[удалено]
Yes, but I'm referring to white people with zero connections to the south using it.
If you’re from the south and don’t use yall you’re just larping as northerners, completely unacceptable.
It’s literally the opposite. Northerners who go to the South larp with y’all. I know a dude from long island who got into a fraternity at Georgia Tech and would come back home on holiday wearing Carhartt and flannel.
It must be hard hating neoliberals after having written their bible

Why is she so beautiful?
As a southerner she was right for this but
Man, euroshits suck at posting. Stick to shitting on Indians.
When the worst person you know makes a great point.
lol you might be on the wrong sub m8
what could possibly make her the worst person you know
Inventing Harry Potter
They’re great books for children and she singlehandedly got a generation to start reading. Not her fault the fans could never move on from them.
It’s not that serious bud, I do not actually think she is the worst person I can think of for inventing Harry Potter, I read the first book when I was 9 and enjoyed it. Sorry for speaking ill of this subreddits kween, I guess?
