Couldn't you just listen to someone with a British accent for hours on end? I know I could. No matter what they say, it always comes out sounding classy. They could say, "You see, the other day I killed a bloke by completely disemboweling him, and now I wear his guts for garters because I'm a heartless bastard", and it would sound absolutely dignified. And you'd want to hear MORE about it, just because the accent sounds like linguistic music.
This is very true. On this subject, the first time I visited England, I was subconsciously expecting the beautiful accents all around me to end after two hours... as though England is simply a movie you can turn on & off. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat KILLS me is hearing KIDS with British accents! That gives me an idea. Next time I have a sucky day, I should just youtube search for British children and listen to their accents, and my heart will be lifted...
