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.
|
Most people don't but I do it all the time. I also type "Yinz" sometimes which is another accent thing.
|
I'm not aware of what that may mean o-o
|
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. |
Ah yes, i'm not clued in on any America slang xD Only horrible British stuff.
|
O3o what state?
//goes to check |
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? |
I don't even use British slang. I never liked the local Scottish slang around me, so I tried to avoid it.
|
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. |

also i found out C: //power of google |
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.
|
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. |
i use slang all the time XD
you dont even wanna talk with me on the phone XD |
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. |
its because you are ducky
and you can adapt quickly |
I don't adapt at all, that is why I don't have any accent. Though I do know a few to many languages.
|
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. |

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.
|
well youre just a strange kid ducky c:
thats all there is to it C: |
I suppose that's one way to look at it xD
|
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. |
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. :/ |
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.
|
ducky's accent is acceptable
its easy to understand |
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. |
it would still sound different to someone. so in essence everyone has an accent
just sayin |
You'll have to hear mine at some point, so i can chance your mind a little.
|
lol yeah trust me ducky's isnt bad at all

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. |
I'm a bit hesitant about the lack of accent thing. It sounds possible, but really difficult.
|
-Noms on Nibs-
Why are we talking about accents? |
eh. idk i still think what i think.
|
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.
|
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.

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

|
