Accents

I’m not just not a fan of the American accent on the late 1800s and early 1900s. I actively dislike it. There isn’t anything that initially I can label as wrong when I hear it. But it instantly bothers me, and every time I hear it. Thinking about it tonight, I realized what it actually is. It’s that the accent is like a watered-down version of a British accent. It isn’t fully American, as I know American to be, but it also isn’t still British either. It is a sort of middle-ground between the two. It always gives me the feeling of yelling at it and telling it to pick a side(!). I don’t even mind which side it picks. Just pick one and stop being so wishy-washy!

It just rubs me wrong every time I hear it. Ugh! Haha

Yes, I’m ridiculous, I am fully aware(!).
