WE AWE THE BRI ISH!

But in all seriousness, I've heard bri ish and briddish. I guess it comes down to dialect

You won't hear "briddish" in the UK, just hard Ts or glottal stops (bri'ish).

Good point. The D for T seems to be a North American thing

[–] cucumberbob@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Some Brits, especially young ones, are t-flapping as well now

Took plenty of L's from the US though

American, here. I think we might also be the reason the Brits hide their Rs so much, too. 🙃

I'm sitting in bed saying saying British trying to figure out why we say it the way we do. the best way to describe it I found is we say Brit but only the first half of the t so maybe Brid-ish is the phonetic way.

Are you talking about the boston tea party or the Boston massacre? If the tea party, what does that have to do with changing your accent?

[–] Dieterlan@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the tea party. T = tea

You know it's right when it's coming from Dieterlan
