I ak the next 100 people I see, and they will all say en-viro-ment, or en-viro-munt, en-viro-mint, dependant on how far north you go, you may just get "Wildlife", oot-doors, but I didsnt hear one person say the n in years?. except one posh twit politician who sort of made it sound like he was trying a foreign language course because he was minister for traffic of counting cones or fishing for rubber tyres or something?.
I dont real care fur whut yer fink it shud sahnd likes, I knows yer understanding whats I says, even iffs I am using wot dem kids rahnd der streets dun talk like in sum parts, yer feelin me?.
You have your ways, I talk like a write, I am a naturalised Northener, and thanfulk for it, because if I spoke the proper Queens english, it IS a foreign accent, and it doesnt just sound like I got a sliver spoon up me jacksy, it sounds like a full 200 piece silver service set.
We still get a smile out of how you Yanks cant spell, and I have had many an argument in the past of the grammar natzi's, I laugh a lot when I gets a Yank one trying to tell me to get with the program, and I correct them, its spelt Programme, and they cant see the irony.
Then to rub salt in their wound, when its obvious they lost, BIG time, I play the slydexia card...
BTW, this isnt an argument I am having with TLW folks, just to set it straight, we are just discussing the differences between a thousand mile of water and the same language.
If we met, we would still be understood, and I dont think any of us would be so pedantic to correct each others spoken words would we?.
Heck if we met, I would bring Oziris with me, and I bet his English is better than some kids leaving school these days?.
No his Prius is in the shop having the paint wrapped, and anyway, Walter wont let him out on his own these days.
How far have we wandered off topic here?.
