[eilsoe]

So pj, how many Kirupians have ya blabbed with so far?

[eilsoe]

about 2minutes... :)


I don't critique, only in my head :sure:



I was thinking about giving you my number, just for the fun of it, but I have some doubts about talking to americans, mostly because my accent is horrible, and I write US better than I speak it... :P


seriously.. =)

I'm sure your accent is lovely.

Now mine is strange. Mostly it's very clear, 'posh' English, but sometimes it degenerates into this God-awful sounding thing, where I start dropping t's and h's.

There's this place near where I was born called Chatham. But the locals all miss out the t and the h, so it sounds more like 'Cha'am'. Down is pronounced 'dahn'... Stuff like that. I tried to lose that accent, but occasionally it surfaces. :smirk:

My mum is French. You should hear *her* accent when she speaks English. ;) LOL

[[Legoman]]

you think that's bad? My mum's WELSH. I'm left with a Scottish accent with hints of Welsh rearing its ugly head every so often.

[Kitiara]

I used to go out with a guy who was half Welsh. He had the sexiest accent imaginable. :)

[Kajinku]

I have a small Dutch / German accent when I speak English. So it seems... I was once compared to one of the Dutch football players for that.

but it ruined my chances with Anne Robinson :/

[Kajinku]

Who?

[[Legoman]]

she makes fun of people on TV. Is there a Belgian version of the Weakest Link?

[fester8542]

I am from Boston therefore I dont pronounce my R's

Car = "Cah"

Here "Heah"

Yard = "Yahd"

[Lynx]

Accent... I think that my pronunciation of R is pretty normal, but I think I've more problems with words.
Oh, and of course, the pronunciation of THe (ve) and THanks (fanks).

Hm, I heard the title "The Weakest Link" before, but I don't think we have a Belgian version of this, no.

[upuaut]

I love that show.

"you are the weakest link.. goodbye."

[Kitiara]

Of course, Anne Robinson does the American version as well, doesn't she?

She also went on a program called Room 101, where a guest can put forward items to go into the Orwellian "Room 101" and banish them from existance. Anne Robinson selected the Welsh as one of her choices and caused uproar. :)
