wasnt sure whether to put this into relationships or here..whoops
This doesn't count for allllll students just wanted to moan about some that I've come across.
Students who attempt to hide their accent and talk all croaky-fied overusing the phrase 'in a sense'. It's funny when their accent does occasionally slip out
The ones who love the sound of their own voice and have to add their viewpoint in a class discussion even if it isn't relevant. We all were split into groups to tackle each stanza in the poem and this one person had to butt in when each group was giving their input. I was interrupted by this person who felt the urgent need to let everyone know that the last line in the poem was 'sad'.
Urghhhh and we had to read a book for a seminar and this one student was asked what they thought about it. They said that they had only read the first chapter because it was that unenjoyable for them. Then when I was going to mention a particular moment with this female character at the end the seminar leader stopped me because I would spoil it for those that hadn't got to the end :grump: My friend cracked me up though by saying 'She's dead'. To piss off those that hadn't bothered to read it.

Where do you go to uni?!?!
The rest I can sympathise with though. Pretty much every uni class I've been in has its resident loud-mouth
kent and i take english literature so lots of people try and sound posh when speaking in class haha
Of course you get annoying cunts in your classes but you learn not to let it get to you.
It's not deliberate at all, just shows how accents often adapt to your suuroundings. Tend to find that people's 'home' accent is a lot stronger when talking about stuff that doesn't relate to uni, or when they're on the phone home.
Oh, and other question. As someone who's going to be studying English, I feel ashamed at even having to ask this - what the bloody hell is a 'stanza'?
yup that
they seem to in my classes, dont see why they feel the need to hide it personally..just sounds silly
