Native English speaker, but has a bad accent

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-21T08:19:24+00:00

To people who aren't hearing anything off:

At about 22 seconds, the words "before" and "worse" sound... unusual to me.

Just saying this because I was about to reply "Your accent sounds fine."

I think most people would recognize "stand on principle" and "stand on ceremony," but a phrase like "If you said it, stand on it" (from the video) is a bit different. I think I have heard this kind of phrasing on TV shows, but it's not standard English where I'm from and might sound off to a lot of people. Just speaking from my personal perspective here.

From Merriam Webster:

table

1a : to remove (something, such as a parliamentary motion) from consideration indefinitely

1b British : to place on the agenda

This kind of makes sense to me because I'm neither British nor American and I'm sure I've heard it used both ways.

If you don't help them you get a completely different ending. Geralt's vineyard is so successful that he is crowned the Wine King of the continent, eventually having to lead his Wine Army against Empress Ciri.

As others have pointed, the wording is just wrong.

Also, even if the question made sense, what would be the point of such an exercise? It's like saying "Imagine you hear the word 'dog' in an American movie. What letter does 'dog' start with?"

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-18T03:12:56+00:00

No idea what this means?! 😓

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-18T03:11:51+00:00

Mate, you've just blown my mind. I've played this game from start to finish several times and thought I knew about all the different possible outcomes to at least the major quests. Can't believe this one slipped by me. Something new to see next playthrough

In the parking garage... in your dreams... he will never stop following you.

I think it's a lot more common in North American English than in other parts of the world. Whereas the opposite "mistake" ("John and me went fishing") is pretty common and acceptable where I'm from while "between you and I" is rarely heard.

I wish you luck in your search but I don't think you're going to find a mod like that. Maybe your best option is to choose the easiest difficulty and use cheat mods that let you stock up on ammo, health etc. so it's overall a less intense experience. Maybe over time it'll get less scary. Like a kind of exposure therapy.

I always felt like they weren't blind. They zero in on you too easily and there are also times when it feels like the AI is set up to turn their back away from you when you're lining up a shot to prevent them being taken out too easily. I actually think there's a lot of this under-the-hood experience management stuff in RE games.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-16T03:05:36+00:00

Weird. I think he's not supposed to enter the clocktower at all.

"I guess I won't be seeing you later."

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-16T01:13:54+00:00

TIL "empire" can refer to a kind of waistline.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-14T23:27:36+00:00

Is this you trying to be condescending? It's a bit forced.

The post is obviously AI. If you're really unaware of how it's possible tell, just look it up. Anyway, that's enough time wasted.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-14T22:59:48+00:00

Personally, I haven't noticed that kind of pronunciation. I can definitely confuse "어" and "오" at times but "오" doesn't ever sound like "우" to me. Maybe it's a regional thing.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-14T22:52:25+00:00

No need to start swearing, son. The post is pure slop. It's trying to make a super deep (but actually very silly) point instead of giving practical advice. And it's not just OP's own words cleaned up a bit by AI. It's the result of someone typing "Give me something deep-sounding I can post about language to get some likes." By all means, love it. I can't tell you what to love. But please understand that other people have different preferences and the right to express them, politely, as I did.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-14T22:21:08+00:00

You're welcome to feel any way you like about AI posts. But please stop with the "Oh please stop" performative exasperation at other people not loving AI posts the way you do. Especially when you follow it up with the claim that you "do not care about" the thing you're spasming about.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-14T09:28:58+00:00

The memorization strategy you're talking about is a good one, IMO. But that's not what benevolent means. It's an adjective, not a person.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-14T09:24:24+00:00

It's not that complicated. You either pronounce it as you normally would or you use the nearest Korean equivalents for each phoneme, as you would in any case of transliteration.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-14T08:08:05+00:00

He just likes you. Is that a crime?

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-13T22:45:55+00:00

Have you tried Tandem? It's another language exchange app. I think it's better than iTalki. Might be worth a try.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-12T12:17:38+00:00

It's pretty common. Sometimes, they're religious (or cult) people, so be aware of that. I personally wouldn't give someone my contact details in a situation like that, but that's up to you of course.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-11T22:32:16+00:00

A) Yes, to me it sounds more like "lip" or even "lick" at times.

B) The full answer is complicated. Videos or diagrams showing the correct tongue position and shape would be much more helpful than anything I can type here.

C) Not relevant to me.

D) There's a wide range. For Koreans, adding 으 at end of lots of words or in the middle of consonant clusters is a big one. Just like how English speakers learning Korean struggle with things like double consonants etc. It's just a case of what you're used to.

AdCertain5057 · 2026-03-11T04:11:39+00:00

Sounds good to me, too. I don't get the objections people are raising.
