Americans wouldn't say "Uni" so I assume you're from the UK.
By "US accent" do you mean that "COBOL" would be pronounced "snowball" in the UK? That's really news to me.
- AlbertCory 4y agotoo late to edit, but what I meant was "so-ball" (as opposed to "ko-ball") I thought I knew almost all the differences between US & UK English, but this would be a new one on me, if true.
- KineticLensman 4y agoI think the accents here were exaggerated for comedic effect. You are a right, I’m a Brit and would personally pronounce the ‘BOL’ to sound like ‘doll’ rather than ‘ball’. Unfortunately I can’t now find a reference to the original standards
