Get rid of her...

It used to be comforting to get the “program update” but not since this woman with the grating “upper England” accent arrived, who the L speaks like that in England {thankfully very few folks, excepting those who marry their cousins} ::slight_smile:

I can’t think of anyone who promotes their products or services using such a corny / put on accent.

Please get rid of her, any accent other than hers.

Go to Settings/Appearance and click on the install additional languages, you should have the option to install English rather than English ( United Kingdom )

or better … turn it off :wink:

Howdy Ex-Pat,

Yes, and there are more flavours or rather like you would have it: “flavors”,
In here these forums we mainly find the variety from that large former colony of yours.
with their thick l and that is why we spell color for “colour” etc.

Fun Soundpacks for avast! to choose from:

I installed the funny Polish sound pack.

By the way why the Queens English is getting on your nerves then?
Or is the avast! flaw just “not of these days anymore”
as grammar in language and spelling has been regulated
but pronunciation still remained part of our private domain
(the way you pronounce the i in private says a lot)

your friendly Dutchman with a Prussian tinge,

Well where did this show up?

I surely needed a chuckle here.I like the default chick voice.I find it pleasing and non-intrusive.I mean:

Wake up early in the morning>>Turn on your Machine>>A nice little chick talking to you>>Makes my day ;D

Damn! hope no one reads this LOL

Thanks for that Craig, appreciated, consider it done.

Thanks for pointing out that option Pondus, I’ll try the other English one first, as long as it doesn’t grate as much as the English UK one it will do me fine. I hope that folks hearing the UK version don’t think her accent is a typical UK accent :frowning:

Greetings Polonus…

'fraid you lost me on the above Polonus, where do you think I’m from ?

Each to his own, no problem with that…

Maybe you should ask around the UK to see what the vast majority of them think of her accent.
As for the Queens English, one Queen is enough thanks, we aren’t all poured out of the same mold, nor do we try to squeeze ourselves into it in the desperate hope of gaining some status from it.

Gawd knows what yer on about Polonus, I don’t…

What I was going about were differences in how people pronounce. There are different ways to pronounce “garage” for instance. What was so “posh” about that voice, that it got onto your nerves that much?
I know Glaswegian is one of the worst dialects with the way they pronounce “wasp” for instance. Birmingham? Sheffield maybe?

You’re welcome :slight_smile:
