Oh yes, we sound quite different to each other. (Probably a similar principle to the way penguins can tell each other apart...)wpgrace wrote:Hmmm... ok... there are DIFFERENT Aussie accents? I am fascinated to hear this... they all sound kinda the same... they all sound cool; Americans love Aussie accents, but I gotta admit I don't hear any different ones.
I do hear differences in English accents but wouldn't have a clue where the speaker is from or if the pronunications indicate a particular education... I noticed I could never understand a single word poor Princess Diana or her ex spouse ever said....
I thought Alex, in MB, sounded English but different from the English accents I usually hear... but didn't know if that was because he was doing some particular accent, or if it was an English accent being spoken by an Aussie.... like my French accent is clearly an American, French accent. Clearly.
Oh, and btw, check out the avatar Lilly made, and showed me how to put on.... Lilly oughta get a day off or something for combat pay...
The English aristocracy is hard to understand.
Alex didn't sound Aussie to us, in MB.
Yes, your new avatar is gorgeous ... I commented on it in another thread.
BTW, Lilly just got a 300% salary increase for her MLA mod job. (That was the good news.) The bad news is that triple nothing is still nothing. And the amount the mods are paid, (or not paid, as the case may be), is in no way a reflection of their value, or the incredible amount of work they do around here.
