Your title made me wonder: would NASA get more funding if they strapped AR-15s onto the rovers and called it a liberation mission…
THAT’S how Americans think British people pronounce it? I was looking at the image for ages trying to sound it out.
Please tell me no one seriously thinks this?
“Worst” case I can think of is “Bo’el o’ wa’er” and even that is incredibly limited to like…four boroughs of London.
It is. The meme has four glottel stops, this has three. The meme has the “el” removed, this doesn’t. Weirdly, the meme has the “o” sound removed for for “of” as well.
It’s an entirely fictitious way of pronouncing something, it equates a very, very small subset of the country with “Britain” and is a great example of “fake American British accent” becoming the “norm” to the extent where British voice actors are training to put on voices to sound “more British” (such as Tracer in Overwatch).
The meme might as well say “burdle der wurder” and claim it’s how American’s say it - kinda close, but also really far 🤷
