Accents

What the f**k is going on here. Sorry, but this site is ridiculous. You all want to know why people are leaving in droves? Well, it's because you act like spoilt children. Take a look at your posts again, remember what it felt like to stop and apply any semblance of logic? Nobody wants to see a multi-page rant about self-projected egoistic verbiage in a thread about accents. Read this in whatever accent you want, the message is the same. Grow up.

Being born in Marseille, I'm rather used to the Southern French accent. If you want to hear good examples of this accent, try to watch movies with Fernandel or Raimu: it may make people from Provence not sounding very... serious, but it has its charms.
I won't say it could remind of the Northern Italian accent, but...

On the other hand, the typical Parisian accent is... I mean, I'm glad this accent is disappearing because it sounds like someone clearing his throat before spitting.
I also have problems with the accent of the suburbs which just sound... coarse and vulgar and aggressive.

The accent of Northern France (Lille, Roubaix, the towns close to the Belgian frontier) is quite exotic to my ears: people there seem to speak with a deeper tone than anyone else, but alas! they don't sound...er, bright.

Can we please, please stop this?

Stop acting as if everyone is attacking you. I am not. Anyway, if you want an apology for no reason, i that makes you feel better, there you go. I apologize for having... disagreed and failed to understand you?

What they don't realize is that, if everywhere they go they end up in the middle of a conflict, the problem might not be the other people, but themselves.
