☝️ people when they’re told “I have an accent” isn’t a valid excuse for choosing to speak in such a way that others don’t know what the fuck you’re even saying
I mean, it does if you’re adding for a pen and get a pin. It’s on the speaker to make themselves understood, excepting disabilities. Are you saying being Australian is a disability?

Also accents are not people “choosing” to speak another way. It’s just a result of linguistic change.

I mean, in Australian accents, pen and pin are pronounced the same. That doesn’t make their accent invalid.
