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 853 Views
Perhaps, but you're also wrong. Min Farshaw - 27/07/2015 04:45:48 AM 1104 Views
Both spellings are "correct" to the extent EITHER are. Joel - 27/07/2015 05:04:43 AM 1079 Views

It is also correct if you are Sloth... on a pirate ship... *NM* MightyYT - 29/07/2015 07:09:56 PM 708 Views
I will defer to you and Jeordam on that one Joel - 29/07/2015 07:45:31 PM 933 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 1012 Views
The Southern dialect is the largest by what metric? Joel - 27/07/2015 06:26:20 PM 998 Views
It also the accent most similar to what Victorian brits would have spoken random thoughts - 27/07/2015 07:45:09 PM 927 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 1010 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 666 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 977 Views
that is not what I said random thoughts - 29/07/2015 02:14:49 PM 986 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 969 Views
read slower and then read again until you understand what I said random thoughts - 29/07/2015 08:14:19 PM 1207 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 947 Views
Erm. Not really sure what you're saying here... Legolas - 29/07/2015 11:35:26 PM 904 Views
Would "UK English" have been better? Joel - 30/07/2015 10:47:53 PM 951 Views
Not really. Legolas - 31/07/2015 07:30:41 AM 915 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 998 Views

Interesting stuff. Legolas - 10/08/2015 07:12:26 PM 985 Views
what is not now considerd a proper British accent is called Received Pronunciation random thoughts - 31/07/2015 03:11:36 PM 1179 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 1183 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 995 Views
I assume it would besouthern but it is hard to judge yourself random thoughts - 11/08/2015 08:22:34 PM 976 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 977 Views
Ok they sounded more like the British at the beggining of the Victorian era random thoughts - 30/07/2015 01:34:15 PM 997 Views
Trivial or not, absolute assertions absent even cursory verification invite trouble Joel - 30/07/2015 11:12:01 PM 992 Views
The Brits didn't change theway they spoke until the 19th century. random thoughts - 31/07/2015 02:50:23 PM 1027 Views
