You say that, but what comes to mind is the scene from Hot Fuzz where Simon Pegg's character needs a translator to understand a thick West Country accent. http

- alistairSH 2y agoOr Gerald on Clarkson's Farm... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLj_GARcO20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLj_GARcO20 (I'm pretty sure his accent is exaggerated on purpose)
- dfawcus 2y agoAgain, where is the problem? Close your eyes and _listen_, don't be distracted by the video. Just Clarkson hamming things up.
- skywhopper 2y agoDude, why do you assume other folks hear things the way you do? Great, you’re an accent genius. Not everyone has the same perfect audio processing circuits as you do and not everyone has heard all the accents you have. Instead of insisting they just “try harder”, just believe them and consider how fascinating the diversity of human experience is and how incredibly superior your own understanding is, but please keep it to yourself.
- dfawcus 2y agoHow about looking earlier in the thread where we both mentioned which part of the Island we're from. We're simply comparing ability to distinguish other regional accents on the Island, not putting each other down. Generally folks here get to hear lots of different forms of spoken English. and no - I ain't no "accent genius", there are parts of the Scouse, Brummie, and Durham accents I have trouble with.
- AlecSchueler 2y agoDifferent accents pose different levels of difficulty to different people, just like most things. Not sure if it was your intention but yur responses come across quite dismissively.
- CursedSilicon 2y agoExcept Amazon's own subtitle group have issues understanding Gerald. To the point his subtitles are often just "????"
- bowsamic 2y agoThat’s a joke lol
- timc3 2y agoI am from the west country (and recognize people in the show) and there really are people that speak like that, including dropping off in the middle of a sentence. We had someone working on our farm that was very hard for most people to understand - basically the same accent/dialect.
- dfawcus 2y agoYeah - OK. That one took me about 5 plays to be able to distinguish it.
