diamondbull424 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I absolutely love how the Steelers and Browns get into a brawl and we’ve somehow turned that into a hilarious diatribe on language. I think this proves as Ravens fans that we seemingly couldn’t care less. In terms of the saying “could care less” it’s funny but generally I find its used appropriately. When people say that “they could care less” they typically say it with enough passion so as to prove that they inherently care, while those who truly “couldn’t care less” typically inherently speak that statement with a lack of enthusiasm that would identify their true lack of caring. But that’s mainly been my experience based off of anecdotal evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 So it is a "it's not what you said, but how you said it" situation? Jeeeez that sounds familiar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamKid Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 @Danand I don't notice Danes having off putting accents when speaking English. I've worked with plenty of them, and when I hear actors like Ulrich Thomsen or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau being interviewed they come off fine. Maybe it's just me though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Been traveling since Thursday but damn that game was about as perfect for us as you could ask for. Pittsburgh loses? Check. Browns win but lose their best pass rusher for the rest of the year? Check. Multiple suspensions on both teams? Check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actors receive extensive training in speaking without the accent. Danes mumbles a lot as many letters aren't pronounced when we speak, so it isn't far fetched to say, that when danes speak english it sounds like they do it with a potato in their mouths. I think especially our use of "soft R's and D's" in pronounciation is something that distinguish the way we speak the english language compared to many other countries, and also why our "rød grød med fløde" sentence is somewhat famous to illustrate how difficult the language is, and also why we our accent or dialect when speaking english isn't very pretty.
