Is it cocky/confusing to speak with a British accent?

I would say ‘sentences below’ for a start. Where do your sentences come from? I’m not in the tease business.

The reason I queried ‘assume’ because it doesn’t sit well with the rest of the sentence, which has a negative sense and also linking the beginning with ‘it is possible’. I would prefer ‘divine’.

In a matter of hours this forum has turned into the EU-quizzes-Alan show, wow!

Now, EU,

earlier, and maybe also the little poem I wrote especially for you :wink:

Once there was a woman from Finland
Who was in love with dead accents from England
Yet in her strive for peak sophistication
She lost touch with both earth and her nation
To be merged in her own private fairyland.

Sorry for being meticulous but I think the “the” has been lost in your lyric. :wink: (I might be wrong - just in my dictionary it goes with “the”)
(Just with “the” the verse scans better in my opinion)

As I said, ‘the below sentences’ is not natural to me. Clearly you are enjoying the oxygen of notoriety, to adapt a well known phrase, and I am afraid I shall have to switch off my injection of it into it. The ‘discussion’, if such a grand word can grace what is after all pointless banter, is of no interest to the community on the forum and contributes diddly-squat in the furtherance of learning how to use English.

Hi Alex,

You are being meticulous, but that’s a good thing :o

Let’s put the question to EU since we should really ask a native speaker or somebody with a native speaker-like judgement to help us here :smiley:

Hi global,

I’m intrigued; what do you make of all those comments contributed to your thread (in a matter of only 3 days!) :?:
