Oh my God man I said "anyone with a basic level of English would have understood" and that's what surprised me: you seem like a guy with much more than a basic level of English. 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?

is this your idea of not attacking : "As this forum proves time and again, age=/=maturity" . Nah! My apology was formal, yours obviously hypocritical. History will judge accordingly.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Can we please, please stop this?

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.

Rant time.

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.

Rant over.

Anyway, I'm quite proud of my Kiwi accent, although it comes across badly on the international stage. It seems to work well when used in dry humour or anger, but seldom otherwise.
