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.

Yeah, it's the only accent in America that is non-rhotic (not pronouncing "r's")

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".

eh...not really, i always say B-R-I-T-N-E-Y pronouncing the 'T'. maybe i am just weird or something but that's just me. i've said it once or twice the way you where talking about, but mostly this way.

Really? Maybe people on the East Coast pronounce it differently because I always heard it used the other way.

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'

Lay-a? That's odd, no one in NJ pronounces it that way. I pronounce it lee-a. It's the same from Britian to America Razz

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.
