@AleCx04 you Texans are known for (or at least stereotypically lol) thick ass accents. Ever have this problem?
It's pretty bad some times. Especially when I pronounce my hometown, because we've basically chopped out half the syllables in it's pronunciation lmao -
@Jilano Hard to do that when the primary English classes don't even do that lmao.
I learned a lot of my (shitty) grammar from the fact I was a book worm for about 4 years & the one class in highschool that actually felt the need to teach us grammar.
Other than that, it's the same reading comprehension bullshit year in and year out.
Edit: It's probably not like that in a lot of other places, just a side effect of being in a poorly funded school out in Bum fuck, Egypt. -
@Stuxnet we do have a thick accent. Never had google not being able to pick up mt accent. Think its cuz I speak to it like if it was retarded lol

@dudeking I speak 1.75 languages, only because noone here speaks German. It was actually my first language, but as a small child. It did give me an advantage however as an adult, in that all the Germans thought I was from the Netherlands or Denmark, and had no clue that I was an American service member. I learned my English in British crown schools, so when you mix in the Florida Cracker and Texan, noone has a clue as to where I'm from. 😁

@iAmNaN Here's one for ya: Jamaican with a hit of Canadian and a very very very tiny bit of east coast southern in it.
Whenever he talks fast I can't understand shit lol
"Hey Google define *word*"
>>*Definition of word*
"Hey Google define *struggle to pronounce word while sounding like I have tourette's or I'm having a stroke; get no where close to the accurate pronunciation*"
>>*Gives definition of the word I'm trying to say*
This asshat can understand me stroking out while failing miserably to pronounce a word, but when my southern accent kicks in and fucks with the pronunciation of some words, this thing can't take it? Fucking hell bruh.
