Ahhh ok, ty for the clarification!
OK so the real article title is:
Striking Writers and Actors Hold the Line Against Tech Slicing and Dicing
So why does this one make it sound bad that writers, actors, etc. are striking? Is it unintentional and I’m just misinterpreting? Labour solidarity and unions are a good thing?
Right so don’t really know if this is bait… but that’s one kind of accent (and the tickest pronunciation at that) in ulster, specifically greater Belfast/co. Antrim and very few people speak that thick. For the most part they should be quite understandable from the perspective of anyone who consumes any English language media outside of only American or only London (RP) English. The number of times I have had people have trouble with my accent in Europe and then I ask them what they watched when learning English and the answer is American TV is astounding.
This is me getting on my wee podium now but I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible (after making no effort to understand it), and often deny it any legitimacy.
In reality Irish English is spoken by 5-7million people, as large as some dialects of European languages (eg. Austrian/swiss German, Belgian/Swiss French, etc) and if you learn French or German you still get some exposure to those dialects and if you out your mind to it understand it.
Here, I mean more the reaction to it, I sometimes cringe at the pronunciation or intonation in the way one would to nails on a chalkboard (the idiom can have more than one meaning or reaction attached to it)
Americans 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)
I swear to fuck modern journalists have basically zero critical thinking, probably just told by the PR teams these stats. 155?! 152?! 6’1"?! 187? Catch yourselves the fuck on. For musk especially to be that height and weight he has to have absolutely zero muscle given how he looks in photos I’ve seen
After discovery I had given it up, but the hype around SNW has me thinking I should give it a try…
Yes, all because of western hatred, fuck all to do with the people who invaded in the first place. They’re all imperalist fucks but takes like this on the situation are just completely braindead.
