I forgot. Probably cause its the 11/9 today.
You know there is at least one New Yorker who witnessed 9/11 while in the middle of a bad acid trip. What a day that must have been for him.
that new yorker was on the way to a Grateful Dead concert, because he heard Jerry Garcia was going solo.SuperJail Warden wrote:

It's been a long strange road. I want an update on that tattoo.
It was the funniest thing when GS pointed out it looked like a Pepsi Logo.

I wonder if the people who obsess over English (or other foreign) accents realize that there are some truly trashy English accents out there and it's not all Londy Queen's English.
It annoys me whenever I hear someone not prounce the r sound. From what I understand, most of England is non-rhotic. That's funny since not pronouncing your Rs is usually a sign of low class in the U.S.

Uh yeah. The only people who speak like that are blacks and working class whites from lower income areas in Boston and NYC. The CEO of Goldman Sachs is from the Bronx. He speaks like a normal person. He doesn't have some nasty accent. Do you know why? He wasn't raised trash.Jay wrote:

Look at the map. The only other white people who talk like that are in Louisiana, North Carolina, Mississippi etc. Those aren't famously high class places.
Did your teachers pronounce their R's?
It's got nothing to do with class and everything to do with television. Television producers chose Midwestern German/Scandinavian accents as the baseline and here we are now. I think it's sad that tv wiped out accents, not a sign of progress.SuperJail Warden wrote:

My mom has a long island accent, I don't. I grew up with a lot more television in my life than she did.

The wiki section I linked had literally half a sentence about T.V. and you are going to hold it up as the force that changed America linguistically? Did those shitty parts of Boston, NYC, and Louisiana not have televisions?
Your mother speaks the white equivalent of Ebonics. I am guessing she didn't grow up in the Great Gatsby part of long island.

She did, and yes, television changed the way the entire country speaks. My accent is not a sign of culture or class, it's just what some random person arbitrarily decided to be the universal tv voice.SuperJail Warden wrote:

I don't know anyone that sounds midwestern/scandanavian/german. Everyone around here has distinct southern california accents, unless they are chinese or mexican.

He's equating mimicry of the generic Midwestern accent all the tv people learn to use with being part of a high social classKEN-JENNINGS wrote:

it does sound low class, that much is true.
also, calling anyone a "basic white girl" or "basic bitch" sounds ghetto too. It's what suburban people do to sound like they're hip. I imagine Miley Cyrus claiming she isn't one.
