    It is. The meme has four glottel stops, this has three. The meme has the “el” removed, this doesn’t. Weirdly, the meme has the “o” sound removed for for “of” as well.

    It’s an entirely fictitious way of pronouncing something, it equates a very, very small subset of the country with “Britain” and is a great example of “fake American British accent” becoming the “norm” to the extent where British voice actors are training to put on voices to sound “more British” (such as Tracer in Overwatch).

    The meme might as well say “burdle der wurder” and claim it’s how American’s say it - kinda close, but also really far 🤷


  • THAT’S how Americans think British people pronounce it? I was looking at the image for ages trying to sound it out.

    Please tell me no one seriously thinks this?

    “Worst” case I can think of is “Bo’el o’ wa’er” and even that is incredibly limited to like…four boroughs of London.


  • “We invented a new kind of calculator. It usually returns the correct value for the mathematics you asked it to evaluate! But sometimes it makes up wrong answers for reasons we don’t understand. So if it’s important to you that you know the actual answer, you should always use a second, better calculator to check our work.”

    Then what is the point of this new calculator?

    Fantastic comment, from the article.




  • Common myth, not true.

    First recorded recipe for Shepherds Pie is from a Scottish cookbook from 1849. First recorded use of Cottage Pie is 1791 by an English clergyman.

    Cottage Pie was used for both lamb and beef varieties until recently and was a way of eating leftover meats.
