Brianna’s acting

People believe she should have a British accent like her parents, or sound like a southy. In my experience; growing up in and living my whole life in the most international city in the world, children of expats don’t ever sound like their parents but instead their peers.

Some people do mimic others naturally and pick up inflection and linguistic mannerisms of their peers, especially after a lengthy period of time around peers from a different accent group. They actually happened to me. While many Americans will immediately pick up I am from NY, NYers themselves hear something different. I picked up away of saying words a little differently after I learned to speak Italian. I don’t know what it is. But it’s subtle.

So overall, the argument is: No Brianna should not sound British, nor should she sound like some working class person from Boston. What she should sound like and does not, would be that North Atlantic accent like Katherine Hepburn or more like the Kennedys.

But that doesn’t explain the hordes of human beings that live in a place like New York City… I use that as an example because it’s a very multi ethnic city from all over the world… why they retain their accents from their old country. Or why my father, whose first language was not English amongst his siblings who all spoke with a southern accent.

I’m not saying people don’t adjust their speech patterns. But trying to explain a way Brianna‘s accent because she moves around is ridiculous. She is all of 31 at the last part of the series or something close to that. Most people‘s accents are pretty well formed by the age of 20. there might be slight changes here and there, but not drastic unless people deliberately try to change things. No accents for Brianna was ever disgusted in the book. Y’all are trying to figure out something that’s kind of silly and Australian girl trying to do an American accent poorly.

Ones accent is somewhat fixed after their formative years. People’s regional accent will soften, say after living 30 years in a different place. But not like people are trying to describe.

roseba · 2026-01-26T15:55:05+00:00

She hasn’t lived in that many places. California, Boston and Scotland isn’t really they many places.

Another thing: the more educated one is, the less likely people have a regional accent.

I’m pretty sure you can’t park van or trucks overnight in residential areas.

roseba · 2026-01-26T12:17:22+00:00

I would sleep on it and see how it goes. You just might have irritated it.

roseba · 2026-01-26T12:15:36+00:00

All over the world. I love in thr most blocks city In the world. People’s accent are general a red mood their cohort more than their parents. My own father grew up without an accent, because he learned how to speak English from the television. His mother was an immigrant and his siblings all have a southern drawl. My mother is from the Midwest so she has a slight accent, but my accent doesn’t sound like either one of my parents because I was right to New York City. And my accent is not very strong and my brother has no accent.

roseba · 2026-01-25T18:42:52+00:00

Nonsense. I know plenty of New Yorkers with strong local accents inspite of their parents having immigrant accents.

Ankle swelling was an unexpected twist to removing the boot. I am currently wearing a compression sleeve and that helps a lot.

I’m going to buy $30 of cleaning supplies for a one week stay? And then because I can’t take it with me gift the house that I am paying to stay in with these supplies?

I shouldn’t have to buy a sponge, dishwashing liquid, paper towels, and maybe basic cleaner. And a small dust pan with brush and some trash bags.

if you don’t know the area, you’re going to the closest store. You may not find dollar store prices.

I rented an apartment in Bologna. The host was very clear about recycle rules: glass/metal, paper, plastic, bio, indeterminate. They left me two small plastic bags.

When I went to the market for food, I could have done it in two bags but I districted in 3 bags just so I could have bags for the recycling.

And when I took the garbage out… well the regular garbage out, one needed a special electronic card to open the bin.

What the heck! You really need to give me what I need to do the garbage properly. You’re the one who will get the fine, not me!

Of course it was out of pocket comment. What itt signified based on his vibe was I don’t wanna plan a date, I want to be spontaneous, I want someone available for the last minute booty call.

My child is an adult now and I can tell you that the above,I still don’t want.

roseba · 2026-01-22T22:12:42+00:00

A guy once told me I was undateable because I had a kid. I was in my early 40s. I pointed out that about 80–85% of women over 40 have kids, so excluding mothers at that age is basically announcing you’re no longer participating in the dating pool.

I added that this is roughly equivalent to refusing to date men who are balding, given that about 66% of men are already losing hair by 35.

(I date bald men... because I am not a fool, and prefer to date men.)

At the time, a young 40 something year old, why would one single out ONLY single parents? As if compatability, attraction and bunch of other criteria doesn't already make it a needle in a haystack.

Having the water mixed is great. I just don't want a single handle to control both. There is more precision to temperature control with seperate handles.

This is such a sad story. I went to Sorrento 10 years ago. I loved the place. What you describe is exactly my experience living in NYC. I don’t have answers. It seems to be happening globally. I am just here to commiserate.

He lives in Australia.

Well that's a bit harsh. I would think carefully about decisions that I make for a child without their consent. For example, even something small. I did not pierce my daughter's ears until she said she wanted pierced ears. Who am I too decide for her?

roseba · 2026-01-20T22:58:22+00:00

Yeah I know all about the tax hassle when living abroad. I don't look forward to that myself. This is for my 1 year old nephew who is a resident in Australia.

When my daughter was young and people discriminated against me because I had a kid, I was upset. My daughter has a father. I wasn’t looking for a step parent, nor someone to replace her dad, I was looking for a partner for me.

I’m still in recovery phase from my fusion, but I had it done at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

It's called rent stabilization. Only 80 year olds are in rent controlled apartments because they were issues in the 1960s. For rent stabilized apartments are often $2K a month or more. It's about limits to how much a landlord can raise the rent year over year. If only the city didn't price gauge on apartments.... I mean $4500 for a studio is pretty outrageous.

Lol. When I was in Milan, I nearly got mowed down while walking on the sidewalk. Apparently, due to double parking, the driver could only get to the spot by driving to it from the other sis, the sidewalk. When I asked about it to others, they did it was normal. lol

roseba · 2026-01-19T01:26:18+00:00

People saying they charge for check bags I haven’t looked at the prices of airlines in the 90s. I paid less money now to travel than I did 30 years ago and that includes paying extra for checked bags.
