Accents can seem contrived but they evolve so I'm not sure if it can be said that they are fake.
Are you making fun of Frank Stapleton?Lee-ag of Oi-er-landth
The Australian upward inflection? Everything is a question? Really annoying.Accents don't bother me so much as the use of rising inflection; and vocal fry in particular drives me bonkers.

Yes but probably more "t" than "th" so good becomes "gooodt" , buts it's interesting how the contrived accents have changed. The "dort" accent is heavily influenced by the posh English accent whereas this new accent is influenced by working class Dublin pronunciation spangled with American and tech speak, so obviously the posh English accent is no longer seen as desirableLee-ag of Oi-er-landth
Yea, the influence of popular culture on the privately schooled. That said looking down on someone because of their accent, be it fancy or rough, is not nice.Yes but probably more "t" than "th" so good becomes "gooodt" , buts it's interesting how the contrived accents have changed.

Perhaps like economist Colm Mc Carthy's Dublin accent ?Yes but probably more "t" than "th" so good becomes "gooodt" , buts it's interesting how the contrived accents have changed.

Yea thats interesting alright, the wexford accent, it sort of stands there on its own and is very different to the Waterford accent which is closer to the Cork and Munster accents. The Wexford accent is much flatter closer to the Midlands flat accent except its more nasal. I was In Newfoundland 20 years ago and the Newfoundland accent (outside cities and towns) is the Wexford accent the exact same pronounciationsYea, but is there anything worse than a strong Wexford accent?
Joe , the Waterford accent is the polar opposite of the Cork accent.Yea thats interesting alright, the wexford accent, it sort of stands there on its own and is very different to the Waterford accent which is closer to the Cork and Munster accents.

Spoken like a Waterford Man. The people of Waterford are delusional by nature, sure they think that they have a city in their county!Joe , the Waterford accent is the polar opposite of the Cork accent.
The Waterford accent is flat and deep but understandable whereas the Cork accent is sing song and hard
to grasp !
Did you ever hear the young ones going to secondary school? They pick up a false accent practically overnight, what is not contrived about that.Accents can seem contrived but they evolve so I'm not sure if it can be said that they are fake.
There's a certain MEP from Kildare who studied accountancy and is the daughter of an Army Colonel but has a strong Dublin accent. It occured to me that she may have acquired that accent to go with her socialist credentials rather than from her childhood. Does that qualify as a fake Dublin accent?
It doesn't make her any less capable though; agree with her views or not she's a smart woman and has done the State some service.
