I’m German. Foreign accents (I.e. some foreigner speaking German) are either funny or cute to me. If I feel neither, that’s probably because I need to concentrate to understand. In German accents, a Bavarian accent, a Saxon or a Frisian one turn me off.

In (to me) foreign languages, I don’t care, meaning that I’m just as fine with „Oi com frum Birmingham“ as with a posh Oxford accent. Also the southern French accent is fine with me, as well as the northwestern one. I’m also fine with Breton, but that’s a language, not an accent. And I don’t understand the latter very well anyway, let alone speak fluently.

Exercise more. Does not apply to all of the 20s, but to quite some.

Certain accents. She can be gorgeous and all, but some accents are an immediate turnoff for me…

Oh, ich hätte gedacht, der Slogan wäre noch nicht so alt. Vorher hieß es „Beck‘s - löscht Männer-Durst“, was man im Zuge der Emanzipation dann entsprechend geändert hat.

Never seen something like this and I wonder if it wouldn’t trigger epilepsy in some people…

Wie immer sind es nicht alle, die problematisch sind, aber die Wenigen machen einen Höllenlärm.

Lärmkontrollen sind ein Ding, aber es gibt viel zu wenige davon.

Interessanter Text, Danke dafür. In meinem (IT-) Job erkläre ich unserer GF und anderen Führungskräften oft: „Menschliche Probleme durch Technologie lösen zu wollen wird nicht funktionieren.“ Das Wort „Scheinlösung“ muss ich malmen meinen Sprachgebrauch übernehmen.
