HHAHA YEAH I wish I was there to make fun of him as well LOLLL I absolutely love this guy

This is so true 😂

Hoge’s has a lot to answer for. ;)

Don’t you come the wrong prawn with me

Then what do you call prawns?

@@cuckoobrain7999we call them prawns 😂

Hey blame your tourist board! I’m old enough to actually remember those commercials. Tbf, they used shrimp to avoid confusing us Americans.

Okay but counterpoint: Let's not tell him, because it's hilarious.

I think he’s used to hearing “Northern Ireland” and it stuck wrong in his head

Dude some of us don’t know that Ireland is 2 countries.

​@@truckerdave8465for now

I mean its significantly further north than arizona

I don't hear much of a strong Newfield accent to Gem? It definitely doesn't have that pseudo Irish lilt that you get with older/more rural Newfies. I'd get a kick if she adopted some some newfie-ism though, throw some buddys and b'ys in there

Never would have guessed she was a Newfie, thought maybe P.E.I. or Nova Scotia but not Newfie. Though I guess it doesn't help much that most of the Maritimes accents I do hear where I am, are more of the stereotype accents, especially for Newfies.

Gem doesn't have much of an accent to my ear. I'm from Western Canada and I rarely notice any accent when she speaks. I think it's because she's young and university educated so she likely learned a less accented dialect than might traditionally be spoken in the maritimes.

​@@mdccxxviiI'm from NL. Even the smallest communities have very little deep accent left.

​@@mdccxxvii Gem has more of an accent in her older videos (she was in high school, I think?). She even comments on it when she reacted to them. Either she lost it in university or she tries to have a more neutral accent in her videos so that people understand her better. I know some KZfaqrs make their accents thinner for that sake.

HAHAHA THAT'S SO TRUE

@@poptartzgaming5545 for the longest time I thought I was the only person who noticed this-

Just more proof it's a choice and not natural

Why do gay people add a - at the end of there sentences

I suspect they may know and are just trying not to get homophobic with it.

& new zealand

@@hihihellolloI think NZ might fall into the same situation as Canada for this.

Yeah I do notice there is a weird class thing, I live in the south as well. I definitely think a desire to speak “proper English” from upper and middle class people has had an influence but there must be more to it.

I have noticed it as well as a Canadian with family from the UK. My family is mostly from the Hertfordshire area, which is mostly an essex accent and some pronounce th with a sound like the nordic thorn and theta sound, whereas some would pronounce them as v's and f's. Like Vuh baff instead of the bath.

@@ShieldToad-mk2rp Yeah. I used to try to “fix” it. Now I just own it. Gonna start typing Fanks like Stress.

that definitely makes sense since multiple hermits from different parts of england all do that, joel, stress, and they also mentioned xisuma.

I’m a Canadian and I actually do this, although it was just a problem with how I pronounced it because nobody else I know ever did it. Went to speech therapy when I was younger and was good after that, though I definitely have regular slipups still. So it could always just be pronunciation.

joel seems like he'd be a good voice actor, he's done a couple bits over the years and with training and practice he could do some cool things

Ironically i'm from nys and don't seem to have an accent at all? Lol

@@SliferStreaming As a former Boston area resident, I know that a lot of people in northwestern American cities don't actually have those thick accents, so I totally understand. In the comment I was referencing the "stereotypical" New York accent and more focusing on the fact that Joel broke out of his English accent so well.

@@SillySyrup no, new york state, lol.

@@SliferStreamingliterally every single person who can speak has an accent

"I need to take a baff"

So diverse even the cows have accents.

I wouldn't call the UK small😉, nor is it limited to the UK. It's probably a European thing. In some areas you can travel for an hour and just not even understand the accent anymore😅

@@martijn9568 yeah you are probably right. I’m just speaking from my personal experience of being British, and this is the case for me :)

@@martijn9568 It kind of is in comparison to other countries. I could travel the width of the UK twice over in my own country and still not even reach the nearest town.

Have we ever seen Gem and Aimsey in the same room?

@@Random_Always not a room but they were with Gem in her Twitchcon Vlog!

​@@Random_Alwaysyes

Think he got mixed up...

I mean she does say Shire like a northerner but everything else yeah very Essex

At 5:39 agrees that Stress as an Essex accent. And I couldn’t hear it all but I think in his next sentence he mentions her being a southerner. Then he says Grian’s southern as well, implying he said Stress was from the south.

I thought it sounded almost Geordie

@@gollishh I don’t know what they sound like! But I know Scottish and that wasn’t it 😂😂

I think that's why Scott hates it 😂 he says nobody can do it

@@reekahstinks as a Scottish person myself I can confirm that he does not sound like us 😂😂😂

@@Nylaria24 😂😂😂😂

He's having aha-rd time

The sad thing is that the UK is losing its diversity in accents and dialects due to the modern world. One of my English Language teachers at A-Level is from Wigan and she had a pretty strong accent when she was younger. She said she went to the University of Manchester for her degree and became insecure about her accent. People from all over the country went there and many were probably middle class. By the time she’d graduated, most of her class had lost their original accents and had converged upwards and started speaking in Received Pronunciation. Though she was slowly getting a more Northern accent again as she began her career teaching since she teaches up north, surrounded by working-class people. She went back to Wigan to teach at her old Sixth Form and I hope she gets her original accent back. One of my other English Language teachers actually shows us a clip of the last person to have the proper accent our town was known to have. It was extremely broad and strong. That accent no longer exists here. It’s truly tragic.

In rural areas and small towns you get more regional accents; like the Wisconsin, Upper Penninsula (Yooper) and Minnesota accents are really obvious unless you're in a city like Milwaukee, Madison, Minneapolis etc where accents kind of merge because so many people move from all over the country.

That has just made more and more sense over the years for me. (I'm American)

Ik! There's a part of newfound where most of their accent is like someone from cork on Ireland with a few words that sound extremely American. It's amazing but also jarring as someone from Ireland

Everybody does that. When all the Brits clumped together in the life series for example, their accents grew stronger -- even though they speak in different British accents.

I do that with my Dublin accent. The stronger the accent of the people I'm speaking with, the stronger my accent gets

@@willguggn2it’s one of the reasons why I love seeing Joel, Lizzie, Jimmy, Scott, Grian, and Mumbo interacting in the Life series

It's called TH fronting, and has risen in popularity in many non rhotic accents of English over the last 50 years

The accents in southern England can vary dramatically. Xisuma’s accent sounds like Estuary English to me, so I would assume he is from somewhere around London

I think the way he talks might also be influenced a bit by the fact he has dyspraxia.

Hey thanks, love getting something so wholesome out for once

yeah! linguistics is so cool, and I figured the "eefo" thing was basically that th-fronting changing to an f in some accents

thats a resub lol

Dude, I've got Sodium, Lithium, Entity Culling, More Culling, ImmediatelyFast etc. and _even with Shaders off_ the entity / lighting lag is *bad* in 1.20.4.

@@GSBarlev Ah well my servers Im on r never as large or long lasting as HC. So it goes relatively unnaffected.

It's actually pretty good. I can't tell the difference.

It probably varies a lot in the US. Keep in mind that most towns in Europe have a history of about 1000 years. In the US the oldest are about 400 years old and the further west you go the oldest get even younger.

My mom's family, who live about an hour away in the same state as me, have fairly thick New England accents (the "extra R sounds" stereotype) and Mom herself has a bit of one. But she's the only one in my immediate family with that accent, the rest of us sound "generically American" despite my dad's side of the family coming from the next state over.

I DONT WANT TO HEAR THAT IM FROM IRELAND AND IT WOULD DEFINITELY UPSET ME also idk whether they'd do the classic country accent like from cork or Galway or do a Dublin accent like mine

technically it's both because a lot of influence on British/UK accents & dialects are from Scottish, Welsh, and Irish accents which originally wasn't English speaking

No, that’s not quite right. A dialect of a language includes its unique grammar and vocabulary that is different from the “standard” - it’s not just a difference in how someone says words. An accent is basically how someone forms sounds - that can be due to regional differences in the same language, or because it’s not their native language.
