Reading Posts With an Accent

Whistle and flute - suit.

Ahh, if you'd put the flute bit in, I would've got it

I've got a couple of Scottish mates, and when they're on the grog, man it can sound sooooo funny... even funnier when I'm getting drunk with 'em.

We (English) struggle to understand the jocks. Have a listen to this fella - a programme which was really popular in the Uk but should have come with subtitles

:surrender: And some of you think it`s difficult to hang on here?

Yes the thread is funny, I`v realy been thinking of " how does he/she sound like" because of the way you write some words/slang. And you don`t have to be from "downunder" to be difficult to understand.

Wow, I never realizedhow many of you guys take the regional diction out of your written posts!

I would probably be really surprised to hear some of you talk in real life, I wouldn't be expecting the accent! We all sound the same on the internet (until you go talking about your whistle and flute, and the like), but sometimes I find myself trying to do it to get a feel for certain posts.

Would be cool if we could get something like Teamspeak set up in the forum so then we could hear each others voice

The only posts I read with an "accent" are Steve's (wrightme43) ....only because I've talked to him on the phone and he sounds like a redneck! LOL Sorry Steve..... still love ya though!

I will admit I read everyones posts with an accent. I don't have much if any accent of my own (I know because I sound like they do in the movies). About the only strange thing I do is try to drop in older catch phrases/words that are no longer popular words.

Two of my favorites I am trying to bring back are 'that is so boss' and 'nunchucks to your dome'. Try them out next time you are talking to someone.
