I feel like people used to respond negatively to unique accents, but now I think people see it as a cool novelty when someone speaks differently than them..]]> 2016-02-28 23:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailrust11/e057te00uc3y/wish/97782853 Yes abigailrust11 https://padlet.com/abigailrust11/e057te00uc3y/wish/97784009
I think if someone speaks differently from the majority of people around them, they can be perceived as unintelligent if they can't speak English the way the majority does.]]> 2016-02-28 23:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailrust11/e057te00uc3y/wish/97784009 No abigailrust11 https://padlet.com/abigailrust11/e057te00uc3y/wish/97784056
I feel like people aren't judged very much by their accents. I think that people are judged more by their appearance. ]]> 2016-02-28 23:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailrust11/e057te00uc3y/wish/97784056 Yes abigailrust11 https://padlet.com/abigailrust11/e057te00uc3y/wish/97784088
I have seen this meme before, and it makes me laugh, but I realize there are implications behind this statement. Why do Americans love British accents and perceive them as proper and intelligent?

We are going to read the 1913 playwright Pygmalion by George Shaw. In anticipation for the novel,I wanted to get your thoughts, opinions, and/or questions on the prompt bolded below.

"Do accents have an affect on how people are judged? "

When I hear someone use a lot of slang who doesn't pronounce things in standard English, I am sometimes quick to assume that they are unintelligent. ]]> 2016-02-29 21:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/abigailrust11/e057te00uc3y/wish/98038979 marissa_l_calhoon https://padlet.com/abigailrust11/e057te00uc3y/wish/98249454 No, 
I think accents are simply how an individual pronounces a given language. We are all speaking the same language. As long as the accent is understandable, people don't judge their character.
