Re: english accents
Moderation! @Fastfinge, I think you have overblown Sebbys comments very much out of context. no where did he say that he thought British english was superior, only that he felt Australian and American English had diversified from the original route language enough to qualify

@Dark: Well, you hit the mail on the head; I really, really care about syntax. This bit about everything being fine as long as the message gets across just doesnt do it for me. I do accept that there is a substrate of English that might be called International English--thats
Re: english accents
The reason I stated Geordy was hard to understand was because of the accent, which in the center of newcastle can get quite extreme. If you read anything a Geordy wrote itd look the same sinse the grammar and syntax is fairly identical, its just the accent that makes a major

Re: english accents
Actually that is something of a stage Geordi phrase, Ive never heard anyone say it. Ya dina is fairly common, but that just refers to whatever meal you might have, for example if you were waiting in a restaurant the waiter might say got ya dinna when your food was ready. I
Re: english accents
Yeah, Im quite a fan of The Bradshaws and have picked up some northernisms myself. Of course the opposite is true, people out there still try and do Cockney rhyming slang which is always a good laugh in 2014. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=177711#p177711
Re: english accents
My dad, whos family originaly came from Norfolk, apparently used to have an uncle who used Cockney rhyming slanng, though sinse my dad is now in his sixtiess that wouldve been a fair while ago. Interestingly enough as far as northern English accents go, Yorkshire is one

Moderation! For the love of pete Fastfinge, get down off your high horse and stop preaching, indeed this is an official warning, if you dont stop taking such major objection to innocent opinions and seeing racism and fashism lirking in every shadow I will indeed give you

@dark: To engage in a discussion of a set of opinions legitimizes them, and that is not something I am willing to do with any opinion or set of opinions that promotes, or seems to promote, inequality of any kind. Though I am Canadian, and we do have extremely strong hate

Moderation! To prove that I am not actually the evil emperor Fastfinge believes I am, I will attempt to explain my position and exactly why the question of issuing a ban came up in the first place. I am not American, and though i do believe in the free exchange of ideas
Re: english accents
@dark: I based my judgment on the following statement, in a previous post, by Sebby: it always infuriates me when American English creeps into formal contexts. This strongly implies that he believes American English should only be used in informal contexts, and I cant see

As I said, I believe you were incorrect on sebbys motivation, which is obviously not a belief you share. That is fine people disagree, however the reason the question of banning came into this discussion is that your frequent and unprovoked attacks on other members

I am afraid that I will have to side with both Dark and arqmeister in this predicament. While one might say that I am simply following the crowd or in this case, the moderation panel as it were, I can truthfully state that I rarely if ever speak to any of them, thus feel

Hi. Scansoft Daniel is very much the standard Queens english, actually he sounds rather like a news announcer on the bbc . that is why Daniel is also my voice of choice sinse he tends to work well with my grammar and the way I write much as Id speak. As for my podcast

Daniels all right, very compatible with me too, when I can understand him (usually on smaller speakers, like the iPhone). People say that my accent is Very neutral, as it so often is with people who have been brought up in the UK from some other descent and learned
