just like Americans cant speak proper English (which can be defined i might add)
Hey, learn a rhotic dialect and then feel free to criticize American English. Those "r"s aren't just for decoration, you know.

Dude.... how the hell wouldn't i know a rhotic dialect? and you have a cheek. America dropped the r from many words such as "arss" so dont lecture me about a language based on a non-rhotic dialect. And i was referring to RP English, where everything is pronounced properly.

Parisian French sounds so nice, and formal.
Quebecois French is slang rough shit French.

Most dialects of the United Kingdom are non. Given that you're from there, you're more likely to speak a non-rhotic dialect than a rhotic one.

Ass has no 'r.' If you want to get especially anal-retentive about this, ass and arse are not the same word.
And i was referring to RP English, where everything is pronounced properly.
The lesson for you to take away from this little exchange is that it is pointless to argue about the 'proper' way to pronounce English, because English is pluricentric and not likely to cease to be so in the near future. Y'all may be perfectly fond of RP, but that fondness does not constitute objective legitimacy. Standard American (and every standard and non-standard/regional pronunciation for that matter) is not less correct than RP.

Ca va être facile de trouver un Parisien parfaitement hereux de jaser (bavarder) avec toi en argot-de-rabouteux-de-merde français.
Don't compare a basilect to an acrolect.
Good Quebec French is as French as proper French French, quaint pronunciation differences aside.
