    Unhappy Do people hate the way i talk?? :(

    Ok so im from Canada and have moved to the UK for with my Parents for like the next 5 years or so depending on my dads job.
    I have quite a strong Canadian accent and i always talk to people like i do when im in Canada. This means that to people who are older than me i call them Sir or Ma'am when asked a question. Its hard to explain when i use this but Any way i was at the park playing football with my mates and my dad rang me and asked me if i would be back for dinner and i just said "yes sir" and that was it then when i came off the phone these girls who im not even friends with were like "weird American go get a country and stay there!" and i was like really taken a back by this because i had not even spoken to these girls but ne way like some of the guys there were laughing with them at me as well and i know sticks and stone and stuff but this did like upset me not like crying but ...do people really hate it or find it weird if i say "yes sir" just out of respect???

    Ps. please dont post the whole aboot thing i get it all the time.





    The difference between me and you is i get paid for my photography.

    Because you're young, and these days us kiddos dont really have that much respect for older people like with sir and madam and stuff except maybe in school. So when they hear it, they just find it a bit weird and as people do a lot, said something. Which is kinda dumb, but oh well.

    I think you shouldnt worry about your accent, its fine.



    btw, i love canadian accents =D

    That's a bit stupid that someone would make fun of how the way you speak. I'd make fun of the way THEY speak, 'cos they can't pronounce their own language properly, even thought it's as bad, but still, they did it to you.
