Sociolinguists don't use the term accent because it's pejorative. There are many "dialects"of American English and everyone has one and probably code switches. Some are close to SAE which makes people think they "have no accent". Many people spend their careers arguing whether some dialects are sufficiently unique that they should be consisted separate languages, like AAE or British English or the more regionally isolated ones with smaller discourse communities.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:My accent is mostly about changing ts to ds, changing os to us, adding syllables to monosyllabic words, and swallowing syllables/welding words onto other words. I'll stop after this, I promise, but all of this sounds prescriptive. The only scientific value in spoken language is whether you're able to reach your speaker and communicate your intent. Only if you have a very large audience, which is unique as a language learner in the modern era, will you be judged against a discourse community beyond your inherent language learning circle. All of these traits you describe sound like they've been taught as "bastardizations" of some standard, where a true believer would just say you have a unique dialect and a small community. There are arguments about whether the linguistic traits should be preserved and taught, but usually academia errs towards recording the uniqueness and keeping out of the social argument.

I'm late, but this is important. This is basically Hot Rod's theme song in that movie: https://youtu.be/NouZB6QuCys E: I thought it was saying "dance" instead of "dare" when I first heard it and I think that's better.

They are getting mad at parler for letting people make accounts with their names before they bothered to claim them. There were some great posts back then. Nunez's cow beat him there iirc.

Hyperlynx posted:Edit: I recently found out that a "fourty" is basically a two pint bottle of at least 5% beer. How much are those, out of curiosity? A pint bottle of something decent is like $6-7 AUD. Forty ounces is the idea. Icehouse fotys are like $9 now I think and were the go to for theirll slightly higher abv back in the college days. They don't make good beers in 40oz, but a large corked FinDeMond @9ABV is like high end $12 in Seattle at 20oz I think.

gleebster posted:Moi aussi. Only, I really have no attachment to any video games. I'm old, and of old parents, so no one even thought about this video game stuff. It's all like, weird looking at people giving a crap about them. Was it like this when sound was first recorded? Did people give a crap about how hard the recording engineers had to work to get just the right sound on "Cohen on the Telephone" or "Oh By Jingo", or even some song that wasn't racially insensitive? Forsooth. And what's up with this moving pictures fad, amirite? No disrespect to olds like yourself, but how did you end up on this fine forum if not for the game communities and heavy hitting video game journalism? Genuinely interested at how else it was exposed to the world.

doandroidzdream posted:Basically. There aren't enough memes being shared today so it devolves into this. No. It should be probed. It's bad and you're bad and I think people were just going to not quote to and let it die so people wouldn't get a chance to post these poo poo takes in the meme thread. If you're gonna be edgy like that, the metric is whether or not it's a good joke and it's just bad and lazy and not funny by any standard. And you're only allowed 2 out of 3 of those.
