Singaporeans with fake american accents

Texcoco II SG

Now adays where ever i work at town area i will get to see young singaporeans talk english with american accents. What's more when they talk they give u a impression that they talk as if they're very high class like that How come must they talk american accent english, talking correct singaporean english (Not singlish) is very low class meh? Confused

Standard Singapore English, without the heavy American accent is the way to go.

In fact, using this makes us much more clearer to the world than some misguided western affectation.

you mean they talk like what they saw on TV ? what they think is an American accent ? .... Laughing

there's no such thing as an American accent per se ... you go from the north-east, to the west coast and down south or the prairies they all speak differently ....

I think these chaps have an identity crisis .... Rolling Eyes

If they speak stressing the R then that's southern accent.

Thank you Hollywood! Another classical case of cultural imperialism. There's a difference between those who appreciates foreign culture and those who embraces it.

charlize SG

My bad, my bad.

But I had to use terms he could understand. Laughing

newcomer SG
