Oh, that's interesting. I've never seen someone who emulates their accent in written form. I just assumed you meant sentiment, so the message still got across fine.

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 05:26 PM

Most people don't but I do it all the time. I also type "Yinz" sometimes which is another accent thing.

Ducky 01-08-2012 05:29 PM

I'm not aware of what that may mean o-o

Gallagher 01-08-2012 05:29 PM

Right. Alright. I can understand the accent thing, for sure. -nodnod- You were understood anyway, obviously, but still. I'm going to giggle a little every time you use it in that way.

I only fall into using accents and vernacular when in certain moods. It can have some... interesting effects when I do.

*Sticks toungue out at Nursy* Giggle away my fine fellow~

Yinz is slang for 'you is' or 'you all' And you'll only find it in one state in America.

Ducky 01-08-2012 05:32 PM

Ah yes, i'm not clued in on any America slang xD Only horrible British stuff.

Lisianthus 01-08-2012 05:32 PM

O3o what state?
//goes to check

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 05:34 PM

I'm familiar with American and British slang and a bit of German slang as well.

Western Pennsylvania. So techniquely it is half a state but eh, why not say the whole state?

Ducky 01-08-2012 05:37 PM

I don't even use British slang. I never liked the local Scottish slang around me, so I tried to avoid it.

Gallagher 01-08-2012 05:38 PM

I won't die, dear. I just haven't been taking care of things as well as I should be. I need to work with certain muscle groups more than I have been to keep them in good shape, otherwise things like this happen.

Aha. I've noticed, irl, the more passionate I get, the more my accent comes out as opposed to just my articulation troubles. And I use "y'all", "ain't", and double negatives a lot more often.

Okies. as long as you promise >>

also i found out C: //power of google

Ducky 01-08-2012 05:40 PM

My accent gets more Scottish when I'm tired, but otherwise nothing really changes it. My parents speak very proper English, so that's what i'm use to.

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 05:40 PM

Most of the time in real life I get stares because I use correct grammer 99% of the time. But online I let it all go and use slang as much as I want. Double negatives are still rare for me ta use but personal preference and all.


My accent is Western PA~ WOOT~ (Now, Asumi, did I use that right?)
Though in real life I'm pretty devoid of an accent.

Asami 01-08-2012 05:41 PM

i use slang all the time XD
you dont even wanna talk with me on the phone XD

Ducky 01-08-2012 05:44 PM

My accent is.. uhhm.. I have no idea. A weird mix of scottish, english and american.

When I went to the States I ended up picking up a lot of their way of talking and slang. It was weird how quickly i adopted it.

Asami 01-08-2012 05:45 PM

its because you are ducky
and you can adapt quickly

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 05:47 PM

I don't adapt at all, that is why I don't have any accent. Though I do know a few to many languages.

Gallagher 01-08-2012 05:49 PM

I've got a Tidewater accent. Virginia, yeah? So, suppose it's pretty Southern and all, but around these parts, it's gettin' mixed fast. Mostly the older folks that're keeping the strong accent... Or, y'know, down in the rural areas.

The tourists have a relative impact on the way kids 'round here talk, too. Same with the navy base folks.
Summa this shit gets right trifflin', lemmie tell y'all.

not true. everyone has an accent. you just dont realize it.

Ducky 01-08-2012 05:50 PM

that's the weird thing. I usually don't adapt. I've lived in rural Scotland my entire life, yet still retain more of an English accent because of my parents. I've seen other people move here and lose their accent in a matter of months or years.

Asami 01-08-2012 05:51 PM

well youre just a strange kid ducky c:
thats all there is to it C:

Ducky 01-08-2012 05:53 PM

I suppose that's one way to look at it xD

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 05:54 PM

Asumi, all I have is the faint rements of a Bronx accent which had faded due to extensive voice training. I can mimic alot of accent but none of them are my accent, y'know?

Bloody Scotland accents make people impossible to understand.

Asami 01-08-2012 05:58 PM

but i mean. everyone thinks another person has a different accent
like if you go to mexico im sure they will say you have an accent. :/

Ducky 01-08-2012 05:58 PM

not all Scottish accents are like that. Some of them are okay xD thogh I'll admit that even i have trouble with a lot of them.

Asami 01-08-2012 06:00 PM

ducky's accent is acceptable
its easy to understand

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 06:01 PM

Ducks, I've never met a Scot I could understand. ;-; Even Scotty was hard to understand.

In that essence they would assume I have an accent simply because I don't use that same inotations as they do. But a completely flat monotone has no accent if you are really careful.

Asami 01-08-2012 06:04 PM

it would still sound different to someone. so in essence everyone has an accent
just sayin

Ducky 01-08-2012 06:05 PM

You'll have to hear mine at some point, so i can chance your mind a little.

Asami 01-08-2012 06:06 PM

lol yeah trust me ducky's isnt bad at all

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 06:06 PM

Accent (Definition borrowed from Webster)prominence of a syllable in terms of differential loudness, or of pitch, or length, or of a combination of these.
2. degree of prominence of a syllable within a word and sometimes of a word within a phrase: primary accent; secondary accent.
3. a mark indicating stress (as (, ), or (ˈ, ˌ), or (′, ″)), vowel quality (as French grave `, acute ´, circumflex ^ ), form (as French la “the” versus là “there”), or pitch.
4. any similar mark.
5. Prosody .
a. regularly recurring stress.
b. a mark indicating stress or some other distinction in pronunciation or value.


If you where to follow this it would see if you did not intone at all there is no accent to be had.

@Ducks, uh, okay.

Gallagher 01-08-2012 06:07 PM

I'm a bit hesitant about the lack of accent thing. It sounds possible, but really difficult.

Nexess 01-08-2012 06:07 PM

-Noms on Nibs-

Why are we talking about accents?

Asami 01-08-2012 06:08 PM

eh. idk i still think what i think.

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 06:09 PM

I had it taught to me~ It was something I did for Broadway so I could be understood a bit better while singing as I couldn't be terribly loud.

Ducky 01-08-2012 06:10 PM

I consider myself to not have an accent, since mine can not be pinned to a certain place. To Scottish people i sound american, to american i sound Scottish etc etc. I don't think i'll ever find a place where my accent exists.

Nexess 01-08-2012 06:13 PM

-Licks Ducky- Canada, we have millions of unknown accents here :3

DarkForbidden-Love 01-08-2012 06:14 PM

The Canadians are oisome. (Just throwing out the shout out from a Canadian friend of mine who pronounces awesome as oisome)

Nexess 01-08-2012 06:16 PM

oisome? This people happen to be from the west coast?
