,May 9 2010, 02:00:19 PM]Why do British people say "bloody 'ell" instead of "bloody hell"? They can't pronounce "H" just like Japanese can't pronounce "L"?

I say hell :\

Well, I mean British people living in Britain that have a British accent.

Everyone that I know who says 'Bloody Hell' pronounces the 'H'.
But there isn't really a 'British' Accent, there's the London accent, (Which most foreigners think all british people speak with that accent.), there's the Essex accent, (Which I have.), there's accents for every county really.

Question(s):
1)Do people in America not have school uniforms?
2)Do people in America watch British programs? (e.g: Doctor Who, Torchwood, Eastenders, Deal or no Deal, Hole in the Wall.)
3)What do you think of the British accents? Do you think we all sound posh?

1. A few private schools do, but not most public schools
2. I don't watch them personally, but most of those do air (or have aired) here
3. They're awesome, second only to the amazing Australian accent. Everyone is jealous of British accents.

I'm English, I live in England and I have an English accent and I still manage to say hell.

Since no one answered the glee club question:

As far as I know, the glee club was a common club in high schools and colleges, but have mostly disappeared since the 1950s. Also, I believe they originated in Britain anyways.

Ohemgee guys. You forgot about freakin' CANADA again. What are you guys thinking?? Canada is way better than the U.S.

I'm still not sure what the difference between arse and ass is. Why do British people pronounce it differently like that? Also, why do you add r's to the ends of words? For instance, "I have an Idear!"

I'm still not sure what the difference between arse and ass is.

Arse has 4 letters
Ass has 3 letters.

Oh, in case any Brits were wondering...

I'd estimate about 80% of American girls think British accents are hot. :'D

Do English girls think American accents are hot? If not, I can keep doing my awesome impersonation accent to woo the ladies off their feet.

Question for Britain: any bitter feelings about the Revolutionary War still?

Since we kicked your ass and all.

Speak for yourself on number 3.

I like Cricket, but at my school girls are taught Rounders (Which sucks) instead of Cricket, which annoys me. But, I'm not very good at cricket but I still love it.
