"Hey, you guys!" is only correct if you are Rita Moreno Joel - 27/07/2015 04:15:07 AM 638 Views
Perhaps, but you're also wrong. Min Farshaw - 27/07/2015 04:45:48 AM 873 Views
Both spellings are "correct" to the extent EITHER are. Joel - 27/07/2015 05:04:43 AM 862 Views

That is because your fascist indoctrination prohibits viewing PBS' communist indoctrination Joel - 29/07/2015 01:54:30 AM 744 Views
It is also correct if you are Sloth... on a pirate ship... *NM* MightyYT - 29/07/2015 07:09:56 PM 544 Views
I will defer to you and Jeordam on that one Joel - 29/07/2015 07:45:31 PM 710 Views

The Southern dialect is the largest by what metric? Joel - 27/07/2015 06:26:20 PM 780 Views
It also the accent most similar to what Victorian brits would have spoken random thoughts - 27/07/2015 07:45:09 PM 710 Views
Whoa, now: The PIEDMONT accent may be closest to Received Pronunciation, but is not the whole South Joel - 28/07/2015 12:37:56 AM 788 Views
I don't make the catagories but all the southern accents tend to be close *NM* random thoughts - 28/07/2015 02:12:15 PM 496 Views
Except, as you noted, Virginias accent is closer to Englands (and New Englands, and South Africas) Joel - 28/07/2015 11:00:46 PM 753 Views
that is not what I said random thoughts - 29/07/2015 02:14:49 PM 766 Views
Sorry, I credited you w/knowing the Deep South, Appalachia and TX sound nothing like any UK accents Joel - 29/07/2015 07:42:21 PM 711 Views
read slower and then read again until you understand what I said random thoughts - 29/07/2015 08:14:19 PM 987 Views
"The people in the American South were Victorian Brits"?! I must have read that too fast Joel - 29/07/2015 10:39:08 PM 720 Views
Erm. Not really sure what you're saying here... Legolas - 29/07/2015 11:35:26 PM 676 Views
Would "UK English" have been better? Joel - 30/07/2015 10:47:53 PM 719 Views
Not really. Legolas - 31/07/2015 07:30:41 AM 676 Views
Like in most things Joel is wrong. The US has the larget population of English speakers random thoughts - 31/07/2015 03:20:51 PM 782 Views
As in most things, you admit failure to do your homework yet still claim absolute certainty Joel - 10/08/2015 02:30:34 AM 857 Views
David Crystal estimates proficient non-natives outnumber native English speakers 3:1 Joel - 10/08/2015 02:45:58 AM 653 Views
Interesting stuff. Legolas - 10/08/2015 07:12:26 PM 753 Views
what is not now considerd a proper British accent is called Received Pronunciation random thoughts - 31/07/2015 03:11:36 PM 952 Views
I already explicitly referenced RP at least twice in response to you (also: Still not a DIALECT) Joel - 10/08/2015 02:33:17 AM 953 Views
Actually, since you got me thinking, please enlighten us: What would you call YOUR English dialect? Joel - 30/07/2015 11:19:06 PM 774 Views
I assume it would besouthern but it is hard to judge yourself random thoughts - 11/08/2015 08:22:34 PM 752 Views
Sorry I did not put enough research into what I consider trivia but the point is stil valid random thoughts - 30/07/2015 01:30:39 PM 751 Views
Ok they sounded more like the British at the beggining of the Victorian era random thoughts - 30/07/2015 01:34:15 PM 790 Views
Trivial or not, absolute assertions absent even cursory verification invite trouble Joel - 30/07/2015 11:12:01 PM 759 Views
The Brits didn't change theway they spoke until the 19th century. random thoughts - 31/07/2015 02:50:23 PM 800 Views
Every land has always constantly changed how it speaks, RP was mostly complete by the 17th century & Joel - 10/08/2015 02:33:03 AM 743 Views

Depends, are trying to sound cool, like a douche, or Joe Pesci? *NM* MightyYT - 29/07/2015 07:12:28 PM 554 Views
