Which (speaking as a southern-accented Brit in the US) has hilarious results when you’re trying to order in a US restaurant and you try to clarify by pronouncing ‘properly’. Brit: “I’d like some uo-uh please” American Server: “I’m sorry, could you repeat that?” Brit: “Sorry. Uo-tuh please.” Server: blank face Helpful nearby American: “WADDER” Most of the time the southern British accent is pretty comprehensible to Americans (we have more distinct vowels, the missing ‘r’s just make us sound like we’re from Boston and the glottal stops aren’t too important), but the word ‘water’ when you drop the t and the r and aspirate the w basically turns into a mush of unfamiliar diphthongs to an American ear.
