Spelling and Grammar!!

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'

[Marvin]

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!).

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

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!

What's that about?

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....

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

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...
