Mercenary Pen's Meticulously Planned Machine of Prose Random Banter #182

Yes, but once it is written, then it is a grammatical error.

Technically, grammatical errors can be spoken as well.
But that's a debate for another day.

Yea,h but not necessarily all of them.

Yha, that's basically my problem. My head internalizes the internet as a given factor of real, so some words get spelt the way they sound, like would've being "would of"

...but you've been spelling 'about' correctly this whole time.

[LaZodiac]

Yea,h but not necessarily all of them.

...but you've been spelling 'about' correctly this whole time.

Yup! I don't pronounce it aboot, you see

[Elemental]

Yea,h but not necessarily all of them.

Okay... We're talking about grammar... How did that comma end up in the middle of a word? Don't blame it on fast typing, because I type fast and can remember to check things as I go.
Actually, ignore this query completely, it's after midnight, I said the debate was for another day and I have art I want to finish and Inkscape has a very poor selection of greens available, so I'm going to have to concoct my own shade.
Edit: And it's going to be annoying. I'm red-green colour deficient.

But about rhymes with shout... How could anyone get the spelling wrong based on pronunciation?

Canadian, Elemental

Canadian, Elemental

Well... I've never actually had the good fortune to speak to anyone from Canada. I've been woefully under exposed to foreign accents.

As much as I'd love a chance to laugh at Canadians and poke fun at their inability to communicate legibly*, I really need to sleep.
*Note: This statement in no way indicates that Canadians are adrift alone in a sea of linguistic chaos unable to make themselves understood.

Goodnight everyone!

Mispronunciation of about as demonstrated in the linked video most likely comes from Scotland originally.

[Rawhide]

Canadians have nothing on New Zealand.

[LaZodiac]

I wish I had an audio version of those things.

Have two more.

[Aedilred]

To be fair, New Zealanders aren't normally that difficult to understand. Those videos just focus on the words that they pronounce particularly unusually...

In fact, I rather like the NZ accent, for some reason.

[AtlanteanTroll]

In that case:
Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, AT!

Yaaaaay. *claps at AT with clappiness*

Deadpool is best birthday present ever.

Happy Birthday

Thanks you guys.

[Kneenibble]

There was once a companion thread to You!, I believe, where people posted recordings of their voice to show off their accents. I should like a resurgence of that. pffh's Icelandic accent filled me up with warm syrup.

Thanks you guys.

Happy birthday, parsnip!

I could always come over sometime Ele, green is my favourite colour so I'm sure I could pick you a nice one out for whoever it's for.

Thanks you guys.

Happy late birthday AT :3

On another note: An ex essentially asked me on a date. This ex is actually a nice guy, and the reason why I broke up with him, well.. I'm pretty sure it can't be said on the forum, or at the least, in a thread. Ele knows why I broke up with him, but that was only 'cause I asked his advice on the matter. It's also hard to decide if I want to go on this date, because this ex is quite liberal with spending his money on me.. For example, the first time he and I met (and spent the day together), he bought me a new phone, credit, lunch, movies, smokes, and a few other things I think.. And I didn't ask for any of it, all his idea! Help?

[LaZodiac]

Happy birthday AT, I didn't know you were being serious about that.

Also, I'm sorry that I don't have any advice

It's not really my business, but that sounds like a wildly unhealthy dynamic.

[Mynxae]

Ele is my best friend of seven years, haha. Used to live with him too, only moved out about four months ago or so? /shrugs Note to self: visit him more. He misses me.

Yeah, it's quite a tricky situation.. Thinking of going just to see how it will go, and judge on whether he and I could possibly get back together afterwards. Sound like a plan?

Also, I know it's brony related.. But less than an hour until the pony-music-video of Awoken by BronyDanceParty is up! So excited! *dances*

*logs into WoW* *restart in 0:45* Gah, what is this demonic magic..

Is he as nice in person as he is on the forum?

You do what you want to do, but the kind of person you describe -- he is older too, I imagine? -- is usually bad news in my experience.

[Cobra_Ikari]

I found this video more amusing than I should.

Aww...Deadpool just wants a hug! Why are you all running away from him? D=

=P

[Mynxae]

/chuckles Yes, he is. He's a great person. He and I have never had a single fight in all the time we've known each other. And he and I can keep a conversation going for quite a while, which I can't do with anyone else.

Yeah, he's 19 or 20 I think.. Can't remember. I'm 18 myself, so it's not that much of an age difference. /shrugs

That doesn't surprise me. He has been kind to this bird too

Oh. That's not as bad as I assumed. Well, good luck.

You're a real jerk to thy friends, AT. Making her do that. Mean of you indeed.

Oh, Myn, you play WoW? *pokes the WoW Pony* I PLAYED WOW ONCE! (That scroll of Resurrection is an evil evil thing. Free promotion to Cataclysm and a level 80 is a LOT. And being able to make worgen and stuff in the trial is sweet.)
