I wonder if people are getting better at being able to distinguish between accents with the increased exposure we now have to movies, TV shows, etc. from multiple countries. When I was younger I had trouble distinguishing between English and Aussie accents but soon learned the differences through this exposure. What makes me laugh is when people here say "We don't have an accent, it's everyone else" LOL! I've only run across that a couple of times though. Interesting video Mark. I enjoyed it.

Funny video in many ways, but if it means that much to you, it is not overreacting or making a mountain out of a mole hill. I was really surprised at the U2 clip, since we have always known them as an Irish band here in the states. I have never had a prob...

Funny video in many ways, but if it means that much to you, it is not overreacting or making a mountain out of a mole hill. I was really surprised at the U2 clip, since we have always known them as an Irish band here in the states. I have never had a problem noticing the difference with the accents, although some are quite similar to one another, such as the Aussies and Kiwis. I'm sure Dennis and Angie will be giving me an earful if they come across this! Nice clip.

You’re so silly, Mark. Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Great Britain, United Kingdom….it’s all the same. Y’all are all right beside each other. I’ll never understand you British people. Oh yeah, both parts of Ireland. ...

You’re so silly, Mark. Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Great Britain, United Kingdom….it’s all the same. Y’all are all right beside each other. I’ll never understand you British people. Oh yeah, both parts of Ireland. I do love your English accent though. 😉

Mark I thought Brosnan was English as well. But a talkshow host should do his homework. I guess it has to do with Great Britain and what countries it is made of. Northern Ireland in it and not Ireland doesn’t help either. And yes there is nothing wr...

Mark I thought Brosnan was English as well. But a talkshow host should do his homework. I guess it has to do with Great Britain and what countries it is made of. Northern Ireland in it and not Ireland doesn’t help either. And yes there is nothing wrong with pride of where your from. I detest Nationalism. But I like ,lol as you know, my Dutch pride. But you mention Leno in it. I saw on YT a vid of him on the streets with a map, asking around, point out Danmark, where is Amsterdam. They had no clue. But I had a good laugh, proud of where I'm from still intact.

Ok, firstly as THE only Brit on this site I`d like to say I agree with mrCranky. She should be your queen not mine, that way I wouldn`t have to pay for her and her parasite family..Secondly in all due respect, it seems like it`s Americans that lump you in ...

Just sayin`

Without ever experiencing it, I keenly understand where you and your countrymen may become incensed on being labeled British ... for it strips you of a hard-fought identity. And you're right, Mark, about the assumptions people make and how that can perpetuate the mislabeling of a person's true&proud heritage. The vacuous nature of some of the commentators is somewhat baffling ~~~ almost, deliberate (that Squawk Box host surely was void of any common sense). Thanks, for the share ☆☆☆☆☆

Hey there, Mark, I really enjoyed this vlog of yours and understood it completely. South African kryptonite is when people mistake us for Australians or even British because of our accents. it drives me up the wall. Even though I have lived in America for almost 19 years now, my accent has remained untouched by any American drawl. There's not even a hint of an American accent in my accent. But people will say, "Oh you must be from Australia", or "Oh you must be British" -- drives me nuts. By the way, you should make more of these vlogs -- you have a very nice speaking voice and you tell things in a lovely way. (^_^)
