minus-squareandresil@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoAmericans have trouble with any accent that isn’t the blandest, nails on chalkboard accent. Once had one ask me if I was speaking English when I spoke to him (for context I am Irish, the north bit)

minus-squarepjhenry1216@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoBland and nails on chalkboard? That’s like the opposite of bland. Not great, but definitely not bland. Bland is blunt and flat. Nails on chalkboard is shrill, sharp, and grating. I just don’t understand how you can believe both at the same time.
