I had to copy this post from merv my cg mate. LOL.

The one thing I really hate about kids today is how they try to talk with American West Coast accents. And when I say try, I mean fail miserably at to the point of causing their poor parents eternal shame and driving them to point of insanity. The worst thing is, these kids don't even sound remotely anything like an American. I've been alive for some twenty-odd years and have met more than my fair share of Americans from the California area and they don't sound anything close to the aural abuse these kids crap out their mouths whenever they speak.

Sure it can be argued that I haven't been or stayed in America so how would I know right? But then again, neither have 99% of these kids.

Personally, I can pull off a pretty mean Aussie accent. But just because I can, I don't. Why? Because my Aussie accent sounds nothing like a real Aussie accent and causes ears to bleed whenever I pull it off. And so I only pull it off around people I don't like because I'm mean and that's what I do.

So there I was in a bus surrounded by a cacophony of university students all trying to speak in either pseudo gay accents or badly articulated American accents all at the same. The noise must have really pissed off the bus driver because he was driving really fast.

There was this one batch of friends who were blabbering away very loudly. One girl the group exlaimed to her friends, "OMG OMG OMG! XXX is so irritating she keeps repeating herself irritating irritating irritating lor!" (Yes, she said it all in one breath.)

Initially, I thought she was trying to prove a point by repeating herself needlessly in lousy sounding American accent but when she went, "I will try try try lor try try my best try OMG" some 10 minutes later when queried by her friend about an assignment, I decided that there is no hope left in the world.

People are so ironical.

We decided to greet each other in service with faux accents we’re supposedly good at. His was Australian while mine was Filipino. Hey at least we’re way more kewl and uh huh, yeah y’know... O stop. Back to singlish.
