yeah, i noticed that too! it also kinof has a change of tone at the end of some words, and in a sentence a voice will go up and down like a million times.

Southern accent's are odd too, they pronounce alot of "i's" as "a's". Like.. "Ah didn't know skadavin was a crahme." |
yeah, lol i know. they only thing wrong w/ american accent is that we say, for example, "budder" instead of "butter" |

It's easier though. Like try to say "butter". It's kind of forced, no? "Budder" is easier to say. Unless your a Brit of course, in which case you would say "butta". Or unless your a Cockney and you would say "bu-er". Haha odd, I know. |

That's not entierly true. You don't say brit-ney. You say bri-ney (Using a glottal stop). Like say "kitten". Hear how it sounds? That's a glottal stop. The same with "it". Unless you say something like "it is" in which case it would be pronounced "id is". |

yeah, my name is pronounced different everywhere mostly. like, in singapore, where my mom is from, it is lee-yaa, and you hear a 'y' sound. but here, it is just 'lee-a', and all of my relatives from eastern states pronounce it 'lay-a' |

Yeah, dialects are weird. Like how the Chinese pronounce all l's as d's. Haha "Welcome to ch-itty Wok can i take your ch-itty orwa prease?"
Okay so that's a little exaggerated, but funny nonetheless. |
