Accent is the soul of language; it gives to it both feeling and truth.
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
One reason why a couple of my American male work colleagues left America for Europe because they were annoyed by young college educated women dropping their authentic regional accents (some are even melodic to listen to) for this all too pervasive annoying nasal whine. This is not cool. Just super grating on the nerves.

Hey do people realise the “bri ish” jokes are really just mocking a predominantly lower class accent for a linguistic feature that has already been mocked for being “lazy speaking” relentlessly in the UK?
hiya guys! i sent an ask a while ago, and i know you get a ton of them but some of my asks haven’t been going through so i figured i’d resend it just to be safe!
is there any chance you could make it so the accent color stays the same instead of darkening it? i know it’s supposed to be for contrast, but a lot of the time it actually makes it worse. for example, the accent was supposed to be the same tone as the light yellow of the title but the ask box was darkened and i think it makes it a lot harder to read to be honest:
hope you all have a great day, thank you for your hard work!
Answer: Hey, @oikawabi-sabi!
Thanks for getting in touch here. So, we can confirm that this is indeed intentional to try to ensure contrast stays acceptable. But you’re right that it doesn’t always produce the best results (like in your example). We’ll look into it and see how we can make the adjustment algorithm better.
We will be back in touch with updates as and when we have them. Keep an eye out on @changes for any updates, and here at @wip. Have a lovely day!
