scouse, common amongst
people 60 or older) which is
a derivative of the mix of
the Lancashire burr and the
Irish immigrants accents
(the syntax of certain
communities is almost
identical to a Dublin
suburban syntax - although
the accents are different),
which is quite soft and
pleasant and there is the
new modern more abrasive
accent which seems to have
been learned from Brookside
and other TV shows, this has
seemingly evolved
specifically to sound
aggressive. The second kind
of accent is more difficult
to understand and in many
senses is designed to
attract a negative reaction
and frequently does.
