My work colleague was listening to an instruction film for something the other day, made by a Swedish person speaking English. (And sorry but here comes a rant.) It just sounded so bad! Her English was fine, but her accent!? What the hell!? Trying-to-sound-american-but-you-can-so-totally-tell-that-you-are-swedish kind of accent. Every time she said "order" I cringed, and after about five minutes of listening to this I felt like I wanted to cry! I was so frustrated I wanted to find the person and ask her to stop exaggerating and stop thinking she was so bloody clever! Just relax for god's sake! Don't talk like you are showing off!
I don't mind the Swedish accent, it's people trying to talk like someone they're not and fail I can't take. Gah! Aaaarrrhh!
