Careful with that hard zee.

I don’t think it’s a book on accents, its a phonetic book for learning English. I have one for learning French, it’s in English phonetic to pronounce French words. Just a different way to learn the language.
I daresay it was a book sold in America for 'English Pronunciation', or something, but it definitely spells out an American accent, which is understandable. Not sure why the person in the post feels so called out by it, other than ignorance of one's own accent, but whatever, the 'translations' are pretty fun.
I always kind of enjoy reading spelled out accents as a literary exercise. Pratchett was great at it with the Mac Nac Feegle, for e.g., and wasn't that James Joyce's whole thing?
what phonetic writing system is this? it's definitely not IPA, but it kinda resembles it?
American IPA.
I'd rather have a Czech pilsner, thanks
American English was a mistake!
I like to troll Americans occasionally by calling American English 'English (simplified)'.
America~~n English~~ was a mistake! *
Everything after old English was a mistake smh

You could definitely turn this into a game, giving english speaking participants the phonetic sentence to translate would be funny.
Mad Gab/Incohearent are essentially this. They're fun little party games
Well that was a fun read!
To be fair, it’s cause you can speak faster that way.
Nice try, Jar Jar, but your Sith tactics won't work here.
Tryalanerar is my next nickname.
Fancy some neggz?
No but I’d like some seggz pls
Where's the lie?
There is no lie. It's just tough to admit that it's fairly accurate.
..coffee with lemon? 🤨🤔
First thing I thought, too. For tea, yes, but for coffee? Madness!
