But I'm often told by foreigners that my accent is so pronounced it's not funny.

... I suddenly don't like you as much.
:p

I believe I am the only Mexican on this forum O_o

never noticed before....

Anyway, I obviously have a spanish accent... or used too.... living in the states has dulled it down considerably...

I don't think America should even have an official stereotype accent to tell you the truth.... it's just a huge mix of different cultures, and everyone you meet has a different one.

I do feel ashamed that I don't know Spanished, though ><

I dunno how on topic this is or not, but I'm told my voice sounds like I'm in my mid to late twenties, but I'm 14? Apparently I have a deep voice. Anyone I've played with on XBL could probobly tell ya.

Un Mexicano no comprende Espanol?
Muy hilarioso (if that's a word)

well, i'm from Ohio. i was living in Los Angeles, California for a bit and they speak a bit differently.


the changes acrossed America are usually in dialect. certain places use different words.


such as the pop debate.


out in the West, it's called soda. in the East, it's called pop or just Coke.

in the South, it's soda pop.


different accents i can think of are obviously Dixie[Southern, which i find terribly annoying], Jersey[with the Boston accent being a bit more pronounced], New England[specifically Maine], Cajun.


there are also variations on Southern accents. the way they speak in Georgia is a lot different than how they do in Texas.

I call it all three
People in Idaho do speak different than those in New York, though.
This one girl moved from New York and she said our talking was weird.
Oh, and guess what New Yorkers will pay alot of moolah for that we in the west have a ton of?
SAGEBRUSH!
any New Yorkers here, I'll sell you some, heck, I might give it to you for free!

thatbluebastard 02-22-2005 01:30 PM

how is Idaho?


i think it's the only state i haven't been through.

Here's, they're called Fizzy Drinks. Though of course, each one has a specific name, from lemonade to coke.

thatbluebastard 02-22-2005 01:35 PM

well, i'm sure every town has some variations.


i was just being general to state a point.

He's from England, not some town in America.
And we call them fizzy drinks here too, but rarely, as most of the time we just say the name of the type of drink.

does it matter so much that he's from England?





on a fundamental level, English is all the same.

the difference from England to America is still nothing more than dialect change.

Facsimile 02-22-2005 11:00 PM

It's just that you said 'I'm sure every town has it's variations', when he's not only in another town, but another country.

Rich 02-23-2005 02:44 AM

As said before, England has a ton of accent and dialect changes. I've heard pop, fizzy drinks... pretty much everything. It's called tons of different names throughout towns and suchlike.

Except Soda. No-one in England calls it soda. Darn American names :p

there's still towns in England.



i don't think America holds a monopoly on towns.

Just shut up, you don't understand.

On topic: Is the Canadian accent anything like the Canadians on South Park?

or maybe you just need to get your head out of your ass to understand you linguistically challenged moron.

And maybe you can't paragraph or punctuate properly, but I shan't mention that.

Whoops...

thatbluebastard 02-25-2005 12:05 AM

oh, burn.


you had to resort to attack my posting style rather than actually make any commentary on the fact that you're a word-mincing retard.


oh, and shitface, while we're talking about grammar, sentences do not begin with 'and'.


also, paragraph is not used as a verb unless it's transitive.


the word you're so ineptly searching for is 'indent'.


facsimile, indeed. you're a carbon copy of every snot-nosed 16-year old piece of shit ever.

And you don't use capitals. And your sentences should'nt have a big space. They should be next to eachother.

it's a style preference.



oh, and nice contraction, MLA asshole.

Al the Glukkon 02-26-2005 07:35 PM

Damn, this is a very off topic.

SeaRex 02-26-2005 07:44 PM

So it is. But that was no reason to post a "Damn, this is a very off topic," which was in fact, very off topic.

Blue, take one of your avatar and cool off for a while.

Everyone else, lay off of Blue's "style." Look on the bright side... at least it's legible.

If the pointless bitching continues, I'll have to close the thread. If you guys really feel so strongly about this, take it to PMs.

thatbluebastard 02-27-2005 03:11 AM

i'm chill.

it's just funny.


oh, and rich the intern, i have no clue what you're talking about.


legible? spare me this mockery of syntax.

But in all seriousness, there were no barbs or insults intended in my previous comment. Just needed the bickering to stop, that's all.
