The only thing that trips up most people is our way of talking/accent. Some find it exotic, some find it confusing

I met an American today, and omgosh, everything he said sounded so
proper I was so thrown off... lol.
When we say 'Better', it's pronounced 'Bettah', but he kept saying 'Better' and I'm not that used to hearing people speak that way
.
Basically, almost all words that end in 'er' for us is pronounced as 'ah' ;
Bettah[Better]
Cheatah[Cheater]
Losah[Loser]
Winnah[Winner]
Kind of like the accent from Bronx [it sounds the closest], only different. Blame those bloody Brits who colonized us 400yrs ago and then left us!
It's a cross between British English and Carribean, giving us a whole new way of speaking...
Also, it irks[irritates] me, in a good way, when people say "The" , because we say 'De' which sounds like 'Thee" and it makes me just laugh cause it sounds like they're saying it wrong.
It's just so funny
American's sound so funny... everything is alittle
too proper. Even the Brits sound somewhat normal to us, even though they're too proper too, though less then Americans...
It's just funny hearing someone talk, who wasn't raised here.
It made my day
