I'm shocked my the ignorance of my Politics class

Yeah.
Thanks Lodui.

 

Lodui is right, who gives a fuck about regional pronunciation? I make fun of southerners who talk like they have a mouthful of food, but I don't get all pissed off about it.

 

Bite me.

 

george, dont talk with your mouth full.

 

Ahah.. I don't think it matters.

Basically, my county is looked at like maybe cajuns are in Micha's neck of the woods by outsiders...

So we all have this halfassed English accent with a gone with the wind thing going on because of the brits that settled here in the 1700s... The poor ones would try to copy the rich ones that went off to boarding schools and to study abroad, so everyone still retains the accent/dialect/slang. Toss in the heavy inbreeding and the fact that we didn't win the American Revolution, and you've got a sorry sight to most people.

 

Take it easy,

I agree with anyone who mentions me.

Get's kinda confusing in debates sometimes, but it's worth it.

 

Yeah, wasn't referring to you or anything.

 

whoah... steady man... never speak of ignorance in class... if people knew these things already then they wouldnt take a course... and about the questions, you wont find out unless you ask...

i can understand if someone said it all like "whhoooooos that?" with like a dumb tone...

and thanks for the speech lesson, now i can piss off my friends with that zimbabwe thing
(they hate it when i correct their grammer)

 

i may be making generalizations but... that video proves it for me... ther average north american is a dumb fuck...

except the mexicans... unless you're from southern america you cant stay mad at mexicans

 

who said anything against it? I have a problem with mangling not with regional

 

Fair point, I guess, but seriously....Its like taking an English Literature class if you can't read

Hahaha if they argue with you just say a Zimbabwean said it was so

 

Dus jij spreek Afrikaans in Zimbabwe? Ik nie wist nie.

 

A teeny weeny minority do, and most of them left post "independence" I know a bit because my Grandma grew up in the Orange Free State....so is Bilingual....and taught me some....

And if thats Dutch then its a helluva different to Afrikaans

 

Haha, no it is simplified Dutch, which basically Afrikaans is too so I figured you would understand.

 

Hahaha, I was arguing with some South African friends of mine and called Afrikaans "kitchen dutch" but apparently it descends from high dutch...so there you go....


plus it has been influenced by french, german, english and african languages....



but in essence, simple dutch

 

You speak Dutch?

 

Yep, but that is quite normal for a Dutch person really.

 

You're Dutch?

Ignore that question mark, I (ignorantly) assumed you were American, deepest apologies

 

Apologies accepted, but it is even more accepted if you apologise in Afrikaans.

 

Dit spyt my werklik
