Typing Your Regional Accent...


SafeSearchOff

Recommended Posts

Like it says... anyone find yourself typing in accent?  for instance, sometimes i type cawfee and ipawd. not necessarily subconciously, but ill start doing it and then i realize it later.

so any of you ever do this.. or is it just me?


also, i type rawk.  but then again i think everyone does.

also, any1 ever catch themselves speaking leet? like adding "zor" to the end of words?

Yeah... We do have lots of rednecks and trailor trash in the city next to us so I guess I could type like one of the two...

I don't think my region has an accent.... Well 'least not that I know of.... Unless I just typed in it...

Eugene Oregon


lol You guys totally do! My sis moved out there and I notice it immediately whenever I talk to her. It's like... yuppie-speak, something you'd find at Starbucks about how marvelous the stock market is doing, or the tone of a fashionista making a comment about your shoes o_O Then again, we've got the yooper accent running rampant around here. It doesn't bother me as much as it used to because I've realized it's just derived from the German accent from the Wisconsin days of yore... but it still bugs me >.<

Hahaha... I guess that is true... but does that count as an accent?

I'm born and raised Jersey shore and I do know it, but it's sometimes fun to perpetuate the misconception. Besides, with so many people leaving NY to move to NJ, you actually do start to hear it pronounced that way. Freakin' New Yorkers... laugh.gif

sorry if i was misconceived, i meant southern new jersey. alawt of people in jersey have a friendly rivalry of north versus south. kind of like if you have a town rivalry or NFL team rivalries, just more brotherly, and N NJ vs S NJ

I use "hella" sometimes, which I guess is a NorCal term to some? At least I've been made fun of by So Cal people, but other than that, not really.
