you all knew...

[Fleischwolf]

no, i don't know gary coleman, did he play in black sabbath or what ?

there are in fact a lot of europeans, who talk perfect english! most of them come from england!

honestly, people coming from smaller countries, like scandinavia or holland, speak much better english than germans or austrians (and ESPECIALLY french and italians!), because foreign films (and many come from america ) are not overdubbed in smaller countries, they are just subtitled! in countries with a higher population like france and germany, films get ovedubbed in the native language! so i'm used to hearing all hollywoodstars talking german!

I saw "Die Simpsoons"

Homer sounds kwazy in German, he says "NEIN!" instead of "DOH!"

 

[Blackspirit]

OYO, 'kwazy' is your new word? >P

I just see you using it all the time ))

One more thing; I hate overdubbing! *Grrrrr*

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

I've been using kwazy for quite a while. It's how Bill Cosby says it

Kwazy kwitters

 

[Fleischwolf]

well, some films are better overdubbed than in the original! but sometimes th overdubbing doesn't make any sence, because some things are not easy to translate properly!
and i don't like the american accent!
sorry, guys!

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Meh, I guess the american accent does sound idiotic if you think about it. Since English is the real English, and if you have an English accent and you are trying to impersonate an American, to make your voice sound American you have to talk "Uhhhhh yeeahhh huh I'm american huh." I still get really mad when people assume i'm an ignorant moron just because I live in America though

That doesn't bother me. As long as the chicks dig it. Now Blackspirit not liking it gives me pause.

But the Brit accent is pretty cool... Well, cool for the guys and sexy for the girls. but I like the Irish accent for both genders and Scottish more so for the guys than girls... (our company's CEO is from Scotland).

Made sense to me... I think.

well, i never said such a thing! i do know that there are many smart people in america! but i also know there are many people who don't know shit beside america! i once got to know a girl and she said "wow, you've got cars here! i thought you still go by horses, because i saw that on television!" i tried to explain her in a friendly way where the car has been invented, and that was germany!
in general, american tourists say about everything "gosh, that's soooo baeutiful", which is a little funny for us, just like the japanese tourists with their cameras! but many americans don't know shit about europe, even though so many of them are of european descent! they do not know that europe is nothing like a country, but a incredible complex conglomerate of different peoples, countries and cultures! what really gets me mad is that they often confuse austria with australia! well, austria has been the birthplace of mozart, strauß, schwarzenegger and (unfortunatly) hitler and so on, so it's not some little shithole no one knows about! there are t-shirts for sale here with the saying: "no, there are no kanguruhs in austria!"

 

[The Nomad]

When reading, I often misread Australia/Austria... it's only a 2 character difference. I have the same problem with Indiana/India, but not quite as often.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

I wasn't saying you thought I was stupid just because I live in America, but I have got shit for it several times on UM and in real life.

Many Americans are utter fuckwits, a girl in my class had South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe COMPLETELY mixed up (as in their locations on the map).

 

[DeadWinterDead]

@Oyo: Really? I hope I'm not one of those "fuckwits"... Hehe.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Deadwinterdead, as long as you can locate Europe on a map, you're not the same level of fuckwitedness as she.

A lot of Americans (Could it be just because I live in Florida maybe) from what i've seen are extremely ignorant to various subjects. Example...

My physical science class is a nice group of idiots, the teacher asks about gravity, I heard this reply given "Well, the moon is floating above us, and it pushes gravity down to the Earth, and that keeps everything on the earth." Later, the question of which would it the ground first in a vacuum chamber, a piece of noncrumpled paper or a feather? The "moonforce" kid replies "They would both float." This class is about 80 percent rednecks, as in confederate flag, south will rise again rednecks (I don't have a problem with rednecks, usually) So someone made a joke that involved Hitler, and just to be an ass I said "My mom was Jewish, and my mom died on her way to my grandma who died in the holocaust's funeral, i'd appreciate you not mentioning that name again." Then he says "you're jewish?" I reply "Nah, I was just messing with you", then some antagonist redneck overheard, and he comes up to me with a "wanna fight?" look on his face. He says to me "Dude! You're Jewish?!?!" and gets a "" face on. I reply "Nope, was just messing around.." And then his "" face turns to a "" face as he walks away, and says under his breathe "Good thing you're not a jew, because jews are (voice trails off), I would have said something about him being a dumbass racist, but i'd probably get ganked by all the other people in the class.

 

[Final_Vision]

wow ure school is scary, remind me not to go to school in Florida

Tho I think it is true, many americans are fuckwits.....ignorant people run rampant in our country and it is very scary, all you can do is weed yourself out and try and rise above it hehe.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

all you can do is weed yourself out

No, I don't have any money

 

[DeadWinterDead]

I wouldn't "weed" myself out. I'm not that type. And I guess I'm not an American fuckwit/ignorant kinda person. Neither are you Oyo, or F_V... Or anyone here that's from America.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

lol, I need to weed myself out but I need to pass drug test h4r h4r.

lol "weed myself out" that's a funny term, I will have to steal it

DANKE DANKE!

Sorry, i'm feeling randomness today h4r.

 

[Fjelltussa]

Am english accent isn't my favourite, but it's just okay. I like scottish/irish/walisian the best. (Cannot say which of those I like the best) And ppl with scottish accent is the _only_ ones I've _ever_ heard managing to get nor. accent correct even though they don't speak the language. They actually managed to pressurize the right places in the words! LOL

The different english accents fit on different occasions, me thinks. I.e. when I hear british accent, I think of nobles.

 

[Qsilver]

I think finnish accent is the best
