Guys, I'm getting tired of editing out the F bombs. Stop it or the thread will get deleted.

Tex: "An Aussie accent is like a British accent with balls!"

Eh, I dunno, sounds like they are trying too hard almost. Very colorful though...

And while we're on this, the English like to say "I don't have an accent, you have the accent!"

OK so why is it the non-accent disappears whenever a Brit sings?

Riddle me that!

English people don't have an accent as they invented that language that we all know and love, with all its colourful expressions. It's everyone else that have the accents, as we invented the English language (with all the French, Germanic, Celtic, Latin and Scandenavian words that are in it:lol:), and so only we pronounce everything correctly (I'm in for some stick for this :intello:)...

Something that really bothers me is a lack of punctuation, especially where apostrophes are concerned. Some people never use them, and others cannot stop themselves from using them, except when they are actually in the correct place, at which point, they forget about them! Argh!

Byte, yes I deleted your post. The language does not offend me personally, but this is Mike's forum and I do not believe he would like to see that level of language here. If you have a problem with that, talk to him.

I hate to burst your bubble.... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/definitely

EDIT: Hahaha, oops. I didn't read the other pages of the thread....

Hehe almost got you too whats_!

Marvin, I guess we 'mericuns done went and blanded the language... but still, listen to some Beatles and tell me where Paul takes a word that ends in 'a' and makes it 'er'

:lol:

Ah, but the Beatles were from Liverpool, which is like a whole different world in Britain. If pick a point in Britain and travel 40 miles in any direction, you will come across a different accent.

However, it is we, in the South East, who can pronounce words with no accent (REALLY in for some stick now!).

Too hard? I'd say it's more the opposite, we abbreviate everything down to it's shortest possible version or condense it to 1 word like;

Utility Vehicle = Ute

Have a good weekend = avagoodweegend

Rhyming slang is part of our vocab also

Tomato Sauce = Dead horse

Yank = Septic tank (seppo)

OK, you're right - it's colourful but at least we spell colour the right way!

It's amazing what an accent can do. You see a woman who is semi-hot, then you hear her speak in a British accent, and suddenly (not all-of-a-sudden, grrrrrr!) she is the single hottest woman in your area code.

What's that about?

See, there's more American efficiency for you, we just don't like 'u' in certain words...

This thread begged for it!

I just hate hearing people on cell phones saying "yo where you at?" It's where are you?
Don't end your sentences in a prepositional phrase!

That just reminded me of Robert Stack on Beavis and Butthead Do America!

Russian accent, hands down. My last conquest before being in a wheelchair was with "Svetlana". I still get randy thinking about the way she cried "mooooore" with her russian accent.

"yo where you at" ends with a preposition, not an entire prepositional phrase. It is a prepositional phrase, which is a no-no. Right idea....:lol:

I've got a russian/canadian accent. Does that count?

:no:

What? :lol:

I didn't know one of my Avatar girls started doing videos. I'll have to get back in touch and see what else she is working on, or wants to work on...

:lol:

oops, sorry brian. i got carried away.

I'm NOT buying what Ian is selling:lol:

You really don't want my brushless RTR truggy for 3 cents?

Dibs!!! :lol:

Sorry guys, I bought it off of myself... :lol:

Awe, that was a good deal....... :rofl:

Strange, I thought I was asking too much. Didn't get any PMs about it...

U wanna see somes reallys ba spellin, let me post this funny emailed i gots, By the time you read through this YOU WILL UNDERSTAND "TENJOOBERRYMUDS"....

In order to continue getting-by in America (our home land), we all need to learn the NEW English language! Practice by reading the following conversation until you are able to understand the term "TENJOOBERRYMUDS".

With a little patience, you'll be able to fit right in.
Now, here goes...

The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as a hotel guest and call room-service somewhere in the good old U S A today......

Room Service : "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

Room Service: " Rye . Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish to oddor su nteen???"

Guest: "Uh..... Yes, I'd like to order bacon and eggs."

Room Service: "Ow July den?"

Guest: ".....What??"

Room Service: "Ow July den?!?... pryed, boyud, poochd?"

Guest: "Oh, the eggs! How do I like them? Sorry.. scrambled, please."

Room Service: "Ow July dee baykem? Crease?"

Guest: "Crisp will be fine."

Room Service: "Hokay. An Sahn toes?"

Guest: "What?"

Room Service: "An toes. July Sahn toes?"

Guest: "I..... don't think so."

RoomService: "No? Judo wan sahn toes???"

Guest: "I feel really bad about this, but I don't know what 'judo wan sahn toes' means."

RoomService: "Toes! Toes!...Why Joo don Juan toes? Ow bow Anglish moppin we bodder?"

Guest: "Oh, English muffin!!! I've got it! You were saying 'toast'... Fine...Yes, an English muffin will be fine"

RoomService: "We bodder?"

Guest: "No, just put the bodder on the side."

RoomService: "Wad?!?"

Guest: "I mean butter... just put the butter on the side."

RoomService: "Copy?"

RoomService: "One Minnie. Scramah egg, crease baykem, Anglish moppin, we bodder on sigh and copy ... rye??"

Remember I said "By the time you read through this YOU WILL UNDER STAND 'TENJOOBERRYMUDS' "......and you do, don't you!

I do!!! :lol:

Classic...

I have a game called Mad Gab where all the cards have phrases written like Fast5sRevo88's. The object of the game is to figure out what they're saying quicker than the other players. It's actually one of my favorite games.

Good times.

First day on earth......:oops:


As if...........:lol:

omg yer sooo lame lyk whatever as if.

bling doggy smoke puff hittin da hizzause !


Anyone here go to college in 1992? remember when they told us we HAD to take ebonics as a graduation prerequsite ? That lasted 2 weeks... Now you all need textbonics classes

I hate it when people post stuff like this too-

That's like saying " 70% of the time it works, everytime" :lol:

I never thought I would get done reading so I could add to the list. I HATE my new keyboard. It's going in the garbage. I mean all the keys are basically in the same place but why is it so hard to type correctly on compared to my old one? I didn't get much schoolin growing up but still try to present myself as an educated person. It is becoming really time consuming and the word "backspace" on the key is already showing signs of abuse. There is just somethinkg out of place with this damn thing. Going to get the calipers and find out before it's tossed. All the extra buttons you can assign stuff to. Nice feature and I spent some time setting them all up. I hardly use them though. I guess I just forget they are there.

I agree with the cursing. No need for it and I understand some people are hooked on saying the F bomb. It just comes out sometimes, but typing is a conscious effort. It just doesn't slip out from the keyboard and the backspace doesn't work.

BrianG. I thought there was some program that took care of the F bomb for you mods. Didn't realize you had to do it. Funny but sad at the same time and I think you may be right about the throne and hemriodes (SP).

Okay, one last thing for me to lay on the table is the inconsiderate or ungrateful member. Instead of aksing for someone to help them out, it's like they expect it right now. Instead of asking if you could measure something for them. They tell you to go measure it. Like we are the help desk at some firm. Then there are the types that must have had everything given to them thier whole life and just takes someone generiousty for granted. Say someone that grabs up a Pay It Forward item that's posted. Is nice when asking for the item, but that's the end of it. No reply to a pm sent about the item being mailed out. No appreciation that is was almost as fast as Mike shipping. Not even and offer to pay for the shipping. The real ice breaker to ensure they will be added to the ignore list for future PIFs. No PM saying somethink like .. "Hey, the item showed up today, thanks." Now that is just rude.
