Your audios

[edit]

Hello. You record your audios with the RP accent, right? Sometimes you do mark it as such, but mostly you have been marking it as UK. So the point is, you should be consistent in marking your audios. Received Pronunciation is a subset of British accents, the two are not synonymous—so you have to suitably choose between using either of these, and stick to one. One ought to use “UK” only if when unsure of one’s specific accent (or dialect). Thanks. -- inqilābī inqilāb·zinda·bād 22:31, 16 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

The problem was, I used to think RP meant "posh accent". Alexfromiowa (talk) 22:48, 16 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Another problem is that I'm a pretty sloppy editor Alexfromiowa (talk) 22:50, 16 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Another problem is that I'm not allowed to run a bot to fix all of them Alexfromiowa (talk) 22:51, 16 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Another problem is I don't want to reveal where I'm really from, for fear of my wiki-life and my real life colliding Alexfromiowa (talk) 22:56, 16 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

@DCDuring Thanks very much. Sorry for being a douche about it. Also, don't forget to disallow talk-page editing. Alexfromiowa (talk) 23:57, 25 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
