We are currently trying to dissuade our daughter from using dunny instead of toilet or loo. She also likes yelling it out.
We know the more we acknowledge it, the harder it will be to stop it...

My 3y/o Scottish nephew speaks in a near perfect American accent because of how much YouTube he watches
28 1 ReplyI’m Scottish as is my whole family and our nieces (5 of them) all say bucks, trash can, soccer ball. I’m quick to point out their errors but I have to give them a wee bit leeway but I draw the line at trick or treating.

I really hate it that everyone, me included, picks up an American pronunciation because almost everything is in it.
On an unrelated note, that's why Baldur's Gate 3 was such a breath of fresh air having voice over in British. But even that was disliked by some

For a bit, this was true for my daughter. She started to call me “dahddy” when she was into Peppa Pig. It didn’t last long, though.
17 0 ReplyMy kid is there. When something goes wrong he'll say "oh NO!" Which can't be typed in an Oxford accent but trust me you can hear it.
Other Peppa-isms include the use of the words "silly" and "naughty".
This manifests in phases like, *"Oh NO, silly Andy!"

Stop letting the tv teach your kids then, shitty parents...or don't complain when they get taught things
10 4 ReplyI suspect it’s mostly temporary, I used to have a heavy Amsterdam accent when I was young because of the day care I went too, but it’s completely gone. I do still have a fondness for it though.

Yup, my 6 year old daughter now speaks Brit English perfectly and it’s hilarious and I can’t get over it.
4 0 ReplyWait, I thought the kids were speaking in an Australian accent because of Bluey?
