You know what? You guys have never heard my actual accent. The one I had before I switched to British. David, we should totally record a video some time for that.

I just decided to use a different accent.

No offense, but that's kind of strange. Like, it sounds like it's get super awkward.

They liked it just fine. It's interesting. Well, now it's just normal.

Huh. If I had a kid, I wouldn't let them do that.

I think it'd actually make me pretty mad if they did. Like, nothing against you, but in my eyes, using an unnatural accent is like abandoning your culture and saying that you want to be someone you aren't. Like you're turning your back on your relatives and ancestors, toward people you don't truly know. I can't really explain it, but it would just bother me too much. That's the best reasoning I can gather for what I'd feel in that situation.

Canada is both British and French born. British accent is going back to roots (although my mum's side is Filipino and my da's is Dutch, but still)

But still. You're not British, and you don't exist in a country where everyone speaks in a British accent. It would be more understandable, but unless most of everyone you talk to has a British accent, it would feel like a culture betrayal to me.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hm?

Hm?

That's what I say when I hear something interesting that I want to think about. Hmm.
