That is because your fascist indoctrination prohibits viewing PBS' communist indoctrination Joel Send a noteboard - 29/07/2015 01:54:30 AM

I occasionally see Frontline over here and wonder how that is even possible. Hopefully King Harald is just underwriting some of Uncle Sams expenses rather than PBS being privatized for profit. One never really knows anymore; I half expect to hear Wal$Marts cheaper carriers and main battle tanks is henceforth defending all Americans willing and able to pay, and the wasteful corrupt US military is being disbanded.

I know saying this invites a ban, but: Never saw the big deal about that movie. It was OK, sure, but iconic generational touchstone? I guess...?

"Hey, you guys!" is only correct if you are Rita Moreno Joel - 27/07/2015 04:15:07 AM 937 Views
Perhaps, but you're also wrong. Min Farshaw - 27/07/2015 04:45:48 AM 1182 Views

well since language is a democracy and the souther dialetic is the largest Y'all wins random thoughts - 27/07/2015 02:07:22 PM 1089 Views
The Southern dialect is the largest by what metric? Joel - 27/07/2015 06:26:20 PM 1076 Views
It also the accent most similar to what Victorian brits would have spoken random thoughts - 27/07/2015 07:45:09 PM 1017 Views
Whoa, now: The PIEDMONT accent may be closest to Received Pronunciation, but is not the whole South Joel - 28/07/2015 12:37:56 AM 1106 Views
I don't make the catagories but all the southern accents tend to be close *NM* random thoughts - 28/07/2015 02:12:15 PM 709 Views
Except, as you noted, Virginias accent is closer to Englands (and New Englands, and South Africas) Joel - 28/07/2015 11:00:46 PM 1058 Views
that is not what I said random thoughts - 29/07/2015 02:14:49 PM 1065 Views
Sorry, I credited you w/knowing the Deep South, Appalachia and TX sound nothing like any UK accents Joel - 29/07/2015 07:42:21 PM 1069 Views
read slower and then read again until you understand what I said random thoughts - 29/07/2015 08:14:19 PM 1314 Views
"The people in the American South were Victorian Brits"?! I must have read that too fast Joel - 29/07/2015 10:39:08 PM 1021 Views
Erm. Not really sure what you're saying here... Legolas - 29/07/2015 11:35:26 PM 1010 Views
Would "UK English" have been better? Joel - 30/07/2015 10:47:53 PM 1053 Views
Not really. Legolas - 31/07/2015 07:30:41 AM 1037 Views
Like in most things Joel is wrong. The US has the larget population of English speakers random thoughts - 31/07/2015 03:20:51 PM 1079 Views

what is not now considerd a proper British accent is called Received Pronunciation random thoughts - 31/07/2015 03:11:36 PM 1281 Views
I already explicitly referenced RP at least twice in response to you (also: Still not a DIALECT) Joel - 10/08/2015 02:33:17 AM 1284 Views
Actually, since you got me thinking, please enlighten us: What would you call YOUR English dialect? Joel - 30/07/2015 11:19:06 PM 1090 Views
I assume it would besouthern but it is hard to judge yourself random thoughts - 11/08/2015 08:22:34 PM 1041 Views
Sorry I did not put enough research into what I consider trivia but the point is stil valid random thoughts - 30/07/2015 01:30:39 PM 1075 Views
Ok they sounded more like the British at the beggining of the Victorian era random thoughts - 30/07/2015 01:34:15 PM 1080 Views
Trivial or not, absolute assertions absent even cursory verification invite trouble Joel - 30/07/2015 11:12:01 PM 1090 Views
The Brits didn't change theway they spoke until the 19th century. random thoughts - 31/07/2015 02:50:23 PM 1105 Views
