    Apparently Scots don't sound British...and some Americans don't know the difference between an Australian and Scottish accent.

    But at least you guys have huge bags of Skittles and Riesen chocolates. You've got that going for you.

    I don't even know the difference between a Scottish and an Australian accent. Or any British and Australian accent. Australians just sound British, case closed.

    I don't know. I just always imagined Kitty sounding like Sean Connery.

    I think I've heard her voice at some point but I'm not positive of that.

    My sample of both is abysmally small (besides they probably have several accents, especially Aussies), but as far as I can tell only Scots roll their r.

    Is it the number of times they say shrimp on the barby that tips you off?

    I know the difference! Scots like freedom and Aussies like half-naked wasteland marauders in leather riding motorcycles.

    Sometimes accents can be difficult to tell apart from other accents. Usually the Scottish accent is known for being quite a fast speaking accent which can make it difficult to understand at times , Also the Scottish do roll their r's and Scottish accents will sound different depending on what part of Scotland the person is from.

    That could literally be any accent. Some people just have mouth spiders.

    Yeah but most have a horde of tiny mouth spiders, Aussies have mouth spiders the size of a hand and eat birds for God's sake!

    Tiny mouth spiders aren't even that bothersome, mostly just slightly annoying.

    But those Aussie mouth spiders are HUGE how do they even get them out of their mouths.

    nah man, most people just have a few mouth spiders, like 2 or 3 coming out. australians bring a horde of spiders when they open their mouths. i'm talking at least 400.

    In my experience, Australians are basically that American southern drawl but with an English accent on top of it. Scots have what sounds like an Irish accent, but harder to understand. Welsh people sound vaguely like Abraham Lincoln but with less freedom. English people sound like filthy rich people in New England. All police on the island of Great Britain have Brooklyn accents for some reason.
