The only request to be heard over the phone has been to hear my voice, which has made some blush

your voice makes people blush? huh?

Haha, a friend of mine couldn't understand his roommate for the first few weeks of college because he was from Pittsburgh. And he only lived about 200 miles away.

I wish I could distinguish different dialects of British accents like I can American accents. Some are REALLY funny like Brooklyn and Bostonian accents.

I was looking through some Northern Irish video's to get their "ow" sounds clarified, because it was said to be that "How Now Brown Cow" was their distinctive sounds.

I then went to see what the Youtubeing world thought of the motherland....heres what I found:



Ben Affleck and ****y Barret from the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones talk accents



A Medford (pronounced mef-fid) city council man. Listen here for the Infamous "park the car" comment in the form of the good councilman address a park called "car park."

I ****ing love living here.

Edit: this is the Northern Irish video

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
