Everyone writes & speaks english on this forum, because thats what this forums main language is. There are forums out there that speak only in other languages too. Just takes a while to find them.
But everyone here all has there different backgrounds. For example my first language is English and my second language is French.

lol
Anyways, I read somewhere that the NJ accent is the most looked down upon. Some professors took different people with different accents from all the states, and had them fake "interview" for jobs with all sorts of employers. All were asked the same questions and gave the same answers. The employers ranked NJ accent as being the person least likely to be hired. Great news for me, huh?

Kwantlen. It sucks, I think I am going to go to BCIT instead. Their business program incorporates more technology, which in the end = +$$$$$$$$$$$!Quote:

I prefer American Accents to Britsh Accents.. British accents are just SO poshe.. LoL.. :lol:
Except for Chavs/Pikies obviously.. they're just gay..
haha, rofl.
iron you want a messed accent. you have to talk to my sister!
boston, southern, and slang (the rapper kind)
i just love accents. I think they add character.
hey alexi. my professor is from jersey. she makes fun of herself and her friend who are doctors.
I have a really bad Texan accent - lol
it is weird here - its like we have our own language or something. All of our words we slur together into 1 big word - like: aight (all right) - yu'onto (you want to) - ya'll (you all) --- I also dont sound out my T's - they are all silent - so button is bu'n - nothing is nu'n - oh thats another one - we dont say *ing - it is *'n
Half the time ppl dont understand me - I was doing voice chat with this guy up in canada and he hardly understood a word I sopke - I guess I sound like that guy (from 'waterboy' that no one understands) to him. Its weird tho - cause everyone from around here understands each other perfectly...
Except for the mexicans. God damn it. I hate mexicans. I am not racist. Its just that some ppl dont realize that there are hispanics, and then there are mexicans... Mexicans come to texas and expect us to learn there language but wont learn ours. No one understands mexicans and mexicans understand no one. Mexicans can eat my ass and die. little f***ers..
Anyways - I forgot where I was going with this post so I will just end it.
thats brutal billy...but guess we all have our little "that drives me nuts"
im in FL and went from a yooper accent(like canadian) to southern...but NOT anywhere near the hicks here...holy hell they are baaad.
another thing that some mexicans do is pretend to not know english. Yes, some of them do learn our language rather quickly, but they arent considered hispanics to me because when something goes wrong they look around and pretend to not know english. Stupid f***s. They also cross the border - illegally - and start taking all these crap jobs that used to pay more - but now that everyone here knows mexicans will work them for cheap the pay has gone way down - thats why i dont do construction anymore... I am not going to bust my ass 8 hours a day in 100F+ heat and get paid minimum wage. Thats just f***'d up. If I became president I would gather the army together and form them all in 1 very long line. They will be at arms length of each other, side by side, stretching from the northern most part of the US to the southern most part. And I would march them from one cost to the other and have them gather up all the illegal immigrants and kick their asses so bad they wont want to come back and then throw them (literally) accross the border back to where they came from - and if they are from europe then tough sh*t - they better know how to swim. If all illegal immigrants in the US were gone our economy would go WAY up - medical care would get really cheap - and insurance would become more reliable. Hell, there are endless things that will benifit from kicking them all out. We need better border control too. I would set a post every half mile on all borders of the US (land and water) and have like 25-50 gaurds - with big ass stadium lights always on the border (100% of it) and the guards will have authority to shoot to kill anything or anyone trying to get across the border illegally. We are loosing our land and it is time to stand up and take it back. If these people want in here so badly then they can go through the system and do it the right way. I would also keep my troops in the US. There is no need for us to go fight some war (like the war going on now) that has no purpose. I also believe that each country should take up for themselves. We put our men and women over in other countries to help them out, and loose many lives doing it. but when we need help (9/11) where the hell is everyone ? they stick to themselves because htey know its the smartest thing to do to keep your citizens and army alive. Why fight for someone else ? If they are not strong enough to survive their own war then they deserve to loose the damn country. War is unnecisarry for anything. Why have there been wars in the past ? for land ? yes this one seemed to be a good cause - but look at the wars we fight now ? we fight for what reasons ? No one knows anymore. Why are we in afganistan ? what is our purpose over there ? We have sudam - we are giving him to an afgany court - why are we still over there fighting and looing our troops ? This is very unnecisarry. And stupid. Guard our borders and our country will prosper and grow.
This is just my point of view - others may feel differently.
THAT'S AWESOME!Quote:

Oh well. I learned to understand Klingon after that incident!
