Accents In Roleplays.

I see. You seem pretty knowledgeable about the dialects of the African diaspora. Do you have any affiliation with it?

Do you count being within a stone's throw of Detroit?

Accents In Roleplays.

If you're talking about "the" sounding like "de", then I know.Otherwise I'm not sure what you're saying, forgive me. Are you talking about Trini accents? I'm not very versed in any island accents besides Jamaica's, though I can understand what they are saying because of the similarities. I just wouldn't be able to speak it.

In short it's a dialectical elements borrowed from Black English on the assumption that AAVE is closely related to Creole as it is to English, or it came directly from Creole and its other African-related dialects.

I find it hard to imagine someone doing an authentic Afrocarib accent without growing up around it, simply because they are so difficult (Mainly speaking about Jamaica here, but some of the other islanders sound similar so the logic may still apply), but that can depend on how rough it is. The sentence structure is also switched up.Whereas an American may say "It's not a thing you know."A Jamaican will say "Is not a t'ing enuh." (I use an apostrophe because they often leave out the 'h' in 'thing'.) They also use "say" a lot before they are about to explain something, pronounced as "seh." They also often replace the plural s by saying "them" (pronounced dem) to signify they are talking about several of the same thing.American: "You know the chickens are gone?"Jamaican: "You know seh de chicken dem gone?"As far as I can tell, other more popular accents still keep the same sentence structure that we're all using right now, but that's just my 2 cents.

You're forgetting that all T's sound like D's. Or at least one alone and not thrown in with an h. Sometimes.

This glitch needs to be fixed before I take Christian Bale even more out of his reaction image context.

Accents In Roleplays.

It's a fun challenge, if often times difficult to learn and write a accent out without it being unreadable. I've tried afro-Carribean accents, African, German, and Boston accents. Most of the time - apart from German which is pretty easy is often stereotypical - it's a delicate dance of keeping up character, readability, and me simply keeping it up (the Afrocarribean and African accents I found to be the hardest).

As a GM I usually have a habit of trying to PM people. Though I only get more pissed when they don't respond; as had happened in my last mass-reminder PM when only one guy responded that he's busy with other things.

On a similar vein I've sent a PM to a mod and GM of an RP asking them to come back and settle up some applications and a concern I raised, but I don't think I ever got recognition for that. I don't know if it's just that some people fail to notice them sometime or they simply stopped caring and don't want to bring recognition to their failures by not acknowledging their disappearance. But this is a Free RP role play, so I shouldn't expect anything more; I just simply go there so I have something to crack my knuckles over while I wait for posts in my other RPs.

But still, if you're obviously going to still be around the least you could do is come by and say you're dropping something. I know that irritation all to well.

*gasp* ANOTHER My Little Pony RP! Let's hope I can bring something new to the table.

Shoehorning in G3 and not based Fallout Equestria?

I don't know why I haven't moved on that already. I'm ready to dish out punitive belly rubs.

Well it's also Russia so who knows. I had Beijing in snow, but in the post me and Vilage are working on we've decided to roll with it under the presumption of being a weird mid-spring dusting.
