:lol: Funny post, Larry. I guess I'm boring just being a European-American. ![]() BTW...WTF? Australians are cool! Ballyhoo, mmmaestro, they are all good friends in my book!

Had a guy from NYC on Vent pronounce the word "aggro" as "argo". We let it go for a few months (and kinda of made a joke about it, even pronouncing it like he did) while doing quests and raids. He even typed it wrong! ![]() Finally someone had the guts to tell him he was pronouncing it (and a couple of other words) wrong. He doesn't say or type "argo" or "Polly" (for "Pally") now. We all remain "friends". Sometimes people just need to be corrected and from then on, they get it. Aqua and LE (possibly 89th) will "get this" more than most. Oh yeah, Quirt, the traitor of Azeroth should "get it" also.

Ballyhoo is just fine, and the only reason I always qualify things before I slap at Australians. Moosetoe on the other hand, is a village idiot. |

Before reading the rest of this very interesting thread, I have to comment on this. Good Point, jodi. He also says "Itly" instead of "Italy", but I'm not going to correct him. Oh, and where did you get the "99 out of 100 people that say 'wiff' and 'aks' are black" statistics from, 89th? And that you went to the most diverse high school? So? What does that prove? Sure, I'll agree that I have heard many more blacks say those words than whites, but where I lived in England it was fairly common for lower-class people to use those exact words, except it's more of a "wiv" pronunciation (sp?). What the hell is the big deal? If I didn't know roughly how old you are already, by this thread alone I would assume you are about 16. |

You see, in the middle of that post, was all you had to say...without getting defensive or accusatory. The convo could have gone this way: ME: (Starting thread) I wonder why I hear blacks say words like "aks" and "wiff", and why it's a race-based pronunciation issue as compared to the seemingly normal geography-based issue. YOU: Sure, I'll agree that I have heard many more blacks say those words than whites, but where I lived in England it was fairly common for lower-class people to use those exact words, except it's more of a "wiv" pronunciation (sp?). ME: Oh really? I've never been to England, so it's interesting that it's not a race-based pronunciation issue there, but rather more of a socioeconomic-class-based pronunciation issue. That's interesting. YOU: Yeah, you should really visit there sometime, it's really nice in the summer. ME: Maybe I will. YOU: Gosh, we are really the bestest of friends aren't we? ----- See? Now, isn't that better?
