can I make one up that goes for someone I know?

If you don't like it when someone "curses", yet you ask them to repeat themselves when they do... Shut the FUCK up.

I know everyone agrees with me, but I figured I'd just offer some extra praise. That was frickin hilarious.

Stiltzkin, go to France for a couple of years. See how happy you are if you never speak a word of English. Even if you do that, see how good your French is after a few years. I'll wager dollars to dimes that you still won't be able to pronounce 'rouge' or even 'France' correctly. Losing an accent isn't a matter of practice; sometimes it just won't happen. Whoever has the accent still probably speaks English better than you speak any other tongue at all.
The only exception is college lecturers. I'm having enough trouble understanding propositional logic in English; having it presented in something that's damned near Polish doesn't help. But then, I wish no harm to my lecturer; I just wish he'd find something to do besides try to teach me!

That rant aside, great thread! Clavus, I really wish I could get away with a signiature that long!

rockogre

Hey, I like that, STFU. And I agree with phred also. If you ain't got something good to say then STFU.

Please read all of my posts twice from now on if this is how you want things to go down. I said, "if you have a HEAVY accent". I don't mind accents, I actually like most accents. Having a heavy accent after living in the USA for 10 years qualifies as ignorance and apathy to properly speak English. I'm Mexican and I had a heavy accent for many years when I was young, and I now have no accent at all. I know several other people who have done the same thing, so please don't try to tell me this nonsense. With enough effort anyone can utterly rid themselves of their accent, but this isn't what I was saying-- I was simply saying to get rid of your HEAVY accent, and turn it into something easier to understand. By the way, my French teacher actually complimented me frequently on my pronunciation while I was taking her classes.

Hehehe. I'm guessing that Halx created that site himself, because it is hosted on th TFP server I actually laughed when I read it-- I didn't laugh when I read that "weapons of mass destruction" nonsense at google; only found it mildly humorous. Anywho, it's so nice that the people at TFP have the gall to apologize:

Don't see that much in real life. No harm done, all is forgiven and forgotten, ya ken?

I particularly enjoy Scottish accents, and right below that is Irish, then Australian, then Japanese, then Chinese, then British, and the list goes down. I guess I find Spanish/Mexican accents the most boring because I hear them all the time where I live. I wish I had a Scottish accent and could speak Japanese ::sighs::

Oh and... if you're a goth and you think you know everything about religion, please, for the love of Satan or whatever it is you blindly adore, shut the fuck up.

This is probably going to make me unpopular, but: RE: the Public Assistance STFU:

I work in an office that provides insurance to union workers... and these are a couple of peeves of mine.

If you are on public assistance/welfare/food stamps/disability, and walk into my office in a $300 suit driving a recent-model Mustang and tell me how much trouble you're having making rent, and you need me to push thru your claim even though you haven't bothered to properly complete the paperwork we need you to: STFU.

If you come into my office to sign up your family for insurance, can't be bothered to speak a -lick- of english, and bring in your 9 year old little girl to translate insurance-speak for your lazy a$$, STFU. (Poor kid didn't understand half of what I was trying to get across to her)

merkerguitars

Great. Most of them are so true.

If you don't have a job and bitch about not making ends meet. STFU

If you work for the New York Times and claim to be a "news reporter," please, shut the fuck up.

If you have no knowledge of developmental psychology, developmental linguistics, or of pre-adolescent sensory-motor development, please, don't talk about people's accents. in the spirit of the thread, please, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[addendum]Something you have to understand when it comes to linguistics involves the development of not only the speech mechanics, but also the speech recognition patterns in hearing. As any baby/child is raised around a certain language, certain patterns develop not only in how the words are spoken, but also in the way the words are processed, analyzed and recognized as such. Take for example the spanish language. The letter 's' is a sterling example. In the spanish language, very few, if any, words begin solely with the letter 's.' In fact, almost all words that would normally begin with the letter 's' in another language begin with 'es' in spanish. Now, when speaking another language, especially english, you will find that those whose first language is spanish will start words with 'es' when speaking english that begin with 's' when written. Yes, I am fluent in both English and Spanish, so I have an idea concerning the subject. The recognition of the letter 's' to the person whose first language is spanish considers it when spoken to always be a following letter, not a beginning letter in a word, which leads to what is commonly referred to as a mispronunciation or an accent. The only way to eliminate spoken accents in multilingual people, as proven by clinical case studies, is to raise from birth or young child, a human that hears both/all languages simultaneously and exclusively while growing up. IE, one parent speaks solely french to the child, and the other parent speaks only german. This is supported by large bodies of research.[/addendum]
