what about kids speaking in Australian accent because of Bluey?

I think this affects parents more than kids. Fer real life mate. Wackadoo.

We are currently trying to dissuade our daughter from using dunny instead of toilet or loo. She also likes yelling it out.

We know the more we acknowledge it, the harder it will be to stop it...

My 3y/o Scottish nephew speaks in a near perfect American accent because of how much YouTube he watches

I’m Scottish as is my whole family and our nieces (5 of them) all say bucks, trash can, soccer ball. I’m quick to point out their errors but I have to give them a wee bit leeway but I draw the line at trick or treating.

I really hate it that everyone, me included, picks up an American pronunciation because almost everything is in it.

On an unrelated note, that's why Baldur's Gate 3 was such a breath of fresh air having voice over in British. But even that was disliked by some

For a bit, this was true for my daughter. She started to call me “dahddy” when she was into Peppa Pig. It didn’t last long, though.

My kid is there. When something goes wrong he'll say "oh NO!" Which can't be typed in an Oxford accent but trust me you can hear it.

Other Peppa-isms include the use of the words "silly" and "naughty".

This manifests in phases like, *"Oh NO, silly Andy!"

Stop letting the tv teach your kids then, shitty parents...or don't complain when they get taught things

Apparently I was like this, due to Ringo Starr playing Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station.

I suspect it’s mostly temporary, I used to have a heavy Amsterdam accent when I was young because of the day care I went too, but it’s completely gone. I do still have a fondness for it though.

First this, then the British Empire will reassert dominance over the colonies.

They've got as much chance of wanting that back as France does for Quebec. (spoiler: they rejected the idea and our most recent separatist vote turned emo in a heartbeat)

Wait, I thought the kids were speaking in an Australian accent because of Bluey?

Relatable, except it was the Yogscast for me

Yup, my 6 year old daughter now speaks Brit English perfectly and it’s hilarious and I can’t get over it.

Lol this is funny. My son does a good British accent because we have British family members and he thinks it's funny.

What counts as a British accent? Not being awkward just curious as I see it mentioned usually by American folks a lot. Does it mean any accent from the UK?

The honest answer is that most of us can't differentiate between all the UK accents. They're all just levels of "British", with the most exaggerated being the one with all the "innit"s.

There was this kids show called babar which was basically monarchist propaganda. I wonder what happened to them? Hopefully cancelled.
