    I like to dance sounds so much better than I like to dense.

    And a tomato tastes so much better than a tomayto.

    I like to dense? Who pronounces dance that way? Certainly not I.

    differences are good, diversity is nature's reality. "better and worse are egg sucking words. they leave only the shell."

    I pronoune it as dance. Dense is how thick something is. Not moving to musical rhythm.

    Point of fact- English originated in bird's neck of the woods. I'd hardly call him a moron because he dislikes how Americans have altered his language.

    the brits sing the way americans speak, ever notice that?

    though, it's just a given that bird would prefer someone else's worst effort over any american's best efforts at anything. a mentally deficient monkey speaking english would be preferable to american english in his opinion. that's just how it is.

    oh, and when i say tomatoes, it comes out more "t' MAY das." and "dance" has a very flat 'a,' or, if i'm drunk "daynce."

    sexy. you're lucky. i'm an amalgam of regional american dialects and accents, though when i'm tired, i sound like i'm from oklahoma, even though i've never lived there. it's embarassing. i've decided that the oklahoma accent is just a very lazy mouth.

    it can't be any worse than a couple tiny vietnamese women having a shrieking argument in a loker room shower.
