You'd have to understand that 2 and to, that you and u, that 4 and for, sound the same. That generally means you are an English speaker. And it's usually only the native speakers that feel free to butcher a language that way.

Ok. Unless he means southern as in South American I guess we assume he's American. I'm ashamed for my country.

Yes, the South can easily qualify as a non-English speaking country in certain areas.

I'm ashamed for my country.

No need for shame. You are not the one on whom this reflects poorly, and neither is your country.

I ride the slow pony 2 rubbersville

I'm from and in Berlin in the state of Berlin in Germany, but I currently live in Cottbus, Brandenburg.

Ebonics was an inherently racist idea which suggested that blacks lacked the intelligence to learn normal English and so had to be addressed in a debased form of the language to ensure comprehension.

ebonics was accepted in the 80's tard not the 50's (unless you didnt know segregation was ablished before the 80's

I'll say Florida has an excuse. It's a "second chance state". If you screw up your life badly enough in the Northeastern USA you move to Florida, where nothing special is expected of you, and start over.

Some of the people there speak actual foreign languages...

Don't forget the Texas German dialects; there's only a few thousand (at most) speakers left, but they are still there. :)

Well, the first part of his name, 'ze' could be a play on the French accent for the word 'the' and 'barrio' is Spanish, so perhaps he's trying to intimate that he comes from a mixed linguistic background and therefore has the right to spell the language the way he learns it by reading the names of rap songs:)?

I'm from Cardiff in the principality of Glamorgan, Wales

though soon I'll be moving to uni in Aberwystwyth, in powys?, Wales

Wales is in the UK by the way

don't make fun of his spelling

I'm dyspraxic (its annoying to have a condition that I can't spell) and so I can't spell in English (I can in most other languages much better)

also he might be using a local dialect (I sometimes slip into welshness e.g. she do do my head in she do do (strangly this acctually makes sense))

This thread is getting weird. I no longer feel compelled to stay on topic.

And yet, you are a lovely speller...you don't use numbers instead of words...

I now compell you to stay on topic.

So you don't want me to hijack the thread with dirty muppet jokes?

Hijack is such an ugly word...you damn dirty terrorist you!

Really...the thread doesn't have much of a point.

I'm from (just outside) Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland. Politically part of the UK (though, as I'm sure everyone knows, this has been the subject of much contention and violence) and geographically part of the island of Ireland, funnily enough :p

At least both languages come directly from the same ancestor.

Well, apparently only people from the US, Canada, and Mexico are asked to post. So the rest of you buggers, bugger off!

At least these three are also related. Germafrenspanwedish would be too much.

Shite, fair point...I'm disgusted that I managed to misread such an eloquent original post :pNo it's not. He asked anyone from those three to say what state or province they were from. Read it again, silly people! :D

Ich glaube, to moze biti lite svårt att comprendre inte the end. Yikes...what would we name THAT? Hmmm...françswenglish? I won't even try to mix Cree up into this...okay, yes I will:)

Ki' amis, nous parlons una mezcla des langues, et kinana'skomitina'wa'w pour la diversión!

I threw in a slavic language ("to moze biti") just to avoid that.

My Cree is pathetically non-existent. We don't have that many native speakers here, so I wouldn't even know where to turn to learn some. :(

Ah...Laerod is correct. If you are not from the US, you may state your nation of residence, but not what city, state or territory. Only Canadians get to list their province or territory. I think Mexicans are given the green light as well. But no one else :p

That's the fun part about it...Cree is so completely unrelated to any of the other languages we might be able to sort our way through, that it really offers no contextual or linguistic clues for non speakers, and is therefore confusing enough to drive someone mad!

Edit: hey...wouldn't it be interesting to have a "Learn 'x language'" thread? Useful too....hmm....and we could use the free wav. hosting to do pronunciation guides...do you think we'd be allowed to do that?

Ask the mods in either moderation or #themodcave. It's a great idea.

:D not an insult, but you sound like you're a local from Hawaii.

you stay real good wid Pigen English. you sound local. \nnn/ Shaka Brah!

and I am from Hawaii, Honolulu to be exact.

I still think you're being too specific. Better stick just with Ireland!

You see, that would put me in a tight fix, because I can't mention my city without mentioning my state, since they happen to be the same. :D
Well, you don't get to mention your city unless you're in the US anyway. I don't even think we Canadians, or Mexicans are able to be as specific as cities...
