She forgot that Lindsey was playing with 3 accents. British, American, and an American pretending to be British. It’s actually quite brilliant of Lindsey if you think about it. Notice she only corrects Lohan’s accent when she’s the American sister

This is arguably the best Cockney accent I’ve heard an American do. The glottal stops are spot on.

trying to figure out how “can’t” can sound like a different word if it’s too short and saying it out loud :O

‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ isn’t British. It’s Scottish. Yikes that title.

In other words….there are many versions of brtish accents and if you don’t have a language coach in a movie, then you end up being Robin Williams…who mixes accents!

How come Americans always say British accent, is it because they can’t tell the difference between the different English, Welsh and Scottish accents?

Her Scottish accent didn’t seem so real, I know it’s not, ofc. But Scottish accents are hard.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
