This thread is prickery. The one person who writes like he speaks, and he gets the piss ripped out of him. Horseshit cuntery.

[SYRFox]

I love you all

[gmku]

It was started out of respect.

I write like I speak, too, by the way.

[Glice]

Seriously? The written me and the spoken me are entirely different. There's no accent to your writing. I don't believe that's how you speak.

It's a close approximation to the way I speak, yes.

[floatingslowly]

I had my tongue replaced with a death-ray. consequently, the best
speach I can manage, is a menacing buzz.

Ewww, scarryy... !

You write in, mostly, standard English. There are roughly four people in the World, all of them in Essex, working for Radio 4 on the BBC, who speak like that.

The way I write isn't even approximating the same syntax as my speech. You are AMERICAN.

This is related to people thinking Marras is British. He lives here, yes, but he's Italian, and a very specific sort of Italian (which is necessarily obscure to me). I don't know if you people understand this, but cultural identity is very important right now, in the world. Innit?

[gmku]

Ha, ha. So I'm one of the four people? My dear friend, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Yeah, I talk in standard English. I do. This is the way I talk. What do you think I am, some ebonic-spouting inner city gangsta? I'm a white, middle-class old dude who went to college and who, through force of habit and cultural background, has almost no choice but to communicate in standard, grammatical English.

[Lurker]

I speak in mostly standard English. Ya get me blaadz? Standard English is nang yeah. Don't make me shank you, innit.

someone actually said that to me last week.

I wanted to act like I thought he'd said 'wank' but I don't think he'd have appreciated the joke.

[Lurker]

Haha, what called for that? I think you went for the safe option in not choosing to do that.

[floatingslowly]

barbarous english.

The English are very obvioulsly the best at speaking this language. No argument, there. Fuck off, chill out. If you do you're a wanker.

At least do bow down to Glice, who is English, and shits all over anyone who claims another language as their own.

I'm not sure what provoked it. I don't normally attract stuff like that.He was doing that whole bouncing around like a 4 stone prince naseem routine, showing off to his 800 mates. It was all a bit ridiculous really.

Not that Glice's words would ever matter at 2:00 am, of course.

as one who enjoys the wanton abuse of language(s), I view glice as my nemesis.
