    Yeah, Katy and I have discussed this interview before. We've decided that Damian doesn't have beef over the word u tilize itself, but that it is used incorrectly too often.


    No, YOU decided that, haha.

    I chalk it up to him being young and silly. And use of the U Word That Shall Not Be Named aside, I really love that interview. smile.gif

    Oh, man, good times! I still remember being all excited about arguing with Damian over a damn word and him replying to what I'd said like, 2 minutes later, hee. I totally wasn't doing my homework that night.

    i really don't like it when people spell things incorrectly


    Was that directed at me??? tongue.gif

    I've forgotten that utilise is spelled with an s. I spell realise with an s. And colour with a u. I got all happy when my friend Barry spelled sceptic with a c the other day, haha.

    If you ever visit horrible America, drop by the South, and you'll hate us even more. We've got the worst accents ever. One syllable words suddenly are three syllables long. We even use the word "ain't." Your ears will literally begin to bleed after being submerged in our Southern dialect. The upside is the nice beaches with friendly dolphins that you can swim with. All your Little Mermaid dreams come true in Northwest Florida, they really do!
  • I actually really love Southern accents. Thus explaining my unhealthy addiction to Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, I guess..

    You see, this is why you are my new best friend. biggrin.gif
    Everyone always stops what they're doing just to listen to me talk, and then laugh profusely. I've tried to mask it, but apparently then I just talk like I'm from Brooklyn or an Englishman. ..then more laughing occurs. I don't even know I'm doing it half the time until random tourists come up to me(while laughing, of course) to tell me "OMG You have an accent, that's funny!" (What am I, in a freaking zoo? Don't point and laugh!).

    Oh, but that's not southern, it's Lousianan, which is sooooo different. As Kikky will tell you, I don't have an accent, and apparently I should being from Texas, but most big city Texans don't. Kikky, on the other hand, does, and it's SOOOO cute.

    Totally agree with you Kikky. I'm the only east-coaster in my entire class. I have no accent. But when the dean tours rich people around the school he always looks at me and exclaims wildly, "Rosey's a Joisey goil! Rosey! Say something East Coast!" So he pretty much makes me into a tourist attraction. The funny thing is the dean is from NYC and he sounds much more east coast then I ever could. You think he'd know better that no one in New Jersey says the word "Joisey."

    NO. NOBODY in Jersey EVER says "Joisey." EVER. Saying "Joisey" around here is a good way to get yourself hit. So is making dumb "big hair" jokes or "Which exit?" jokes. Only we're allowed to make those jokes, 'cause we're actually from Jersey.

    Also, New Yorkers have far worse accents than Jersians, so he should shush up.

    This is so off-topic, hahaha.
  • So off topic, but everything you say is right on! Drives me crazy when teachers say "So how's the Joisey goil."

    Who the heck ever talks like that?! Ok sorry, back to the thread. Well anyway, it's kinda related. Jedi_grrlie and I hate when people twist our supposed accents. And Damian hates when people twist words the wrong way, so there! Everything connects in some way, lol.
  • so many things to reply to so little time.

    The thing out decimate was hilarious, and i learned something new so thanks for that.

    I like the differences between American english and everyone else english.

    I also like southern accents. it sounds really saccharine and relaxed almost. I think my accent(nj) and NYC accents sounds really harsh and weird sometimes.
  • Apparently when I'm drunk I speak with a very southern accent, hmm.

    Ah, so tell me jellobomb, does anyone say "Joisey" in Maplewood? You know they don't lol. And it bugs me like hell to have people call it Joisey.
  • Is it anything like having people constantly asking if you've been "out and ABOOOOT!" lately?

    Lol! Yes, it's exactly like that! In response you should say "Have you been out and aboooot lately...with my fist?!"
  • But Canadians don't hit! That would just shatter their whole perception of us. Their minds have already been blown by the fact that we don't live in neighborhoods of igloos.
  • who says i don't live in an igloo village! I kid, its not really a village, more like an igloo suburb, igburb for short.

    You know, I do tend to picture you living in blizzard like conditions even in July. Aww, no igloos. Damn, I was hoping you'd teach me how to make one.

    lol, no one says joisey. most people, as far as i know don't call it just plain Jersey aside from people in North Jersey, closer to the city. That bugs me too, my friend from California thought i said everything weird, and kept trying to explain that people stand 'in' line and not 'on' it, lol.
  • you guys are silly. Everyone has an accent. Its just easier to notice it when its not your own... Its like when I moved to London and people were like omg you have an accent and we don't..... well yeah, you do, just because thats all you've ever heard doesn't mean you dont have an accent you idiots, you all sound stupid to me (ahhhh unhappy memories hahahahah)
