Americans get so offended when someone tells them that other countries do things differently. Guess what? These names existed long before your country did!

Karen = Care In

In most countries the "a" has an "ah" sound, which is why the mama saying "Nay-dave" on the other thread sounds ridiculous.

Oh, by the way is mama pronounced May-may?

Are all Swedish people as annoying as you

Seriously! Way to give Sweden a bad name.

Why do people act like Americans invited English?

Why do so many non English speakers learn English if it's such a terrible, incorrect language?

Why are you so insecure?

No. There is a general American accent which nearly all newscasters, radio, and TV shows use.
