Maybe we should take a vote for which style that the forumers would prefer then?

herobrineharry · Post by **herobrineharry** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:59 pm

that sounds smart. Who can set up a poll?

Anybody who isn't lazy and has time. xP

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 4:45 pm

I think it's kinda up to Rick if we have such a poll or not.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 5:23 pm

Not mention this is the wrong section too.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 1:15 am

Well it was just a suggestion.

Do any of y'all live in or near Houston, TX?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:51 am

I live about 16,000km/10,000 miles away. That's not too far, is it?

Depends on who's asking and why.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 2:30 pm

Nope. I live in the smallest state in the US.

Housefox lives in Texas! Dunno if that helps.

Speaking of, I met someone from Texas earlier today.

That accent. You can't not love it.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 12:46 pm

I guess since I am around a few Texans their accent is hardly noticeable to me now. I was about to ask if they had one.

Post by **ArcWolf** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 12:48 pm

I just say y'all a lot

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 11:30 pm

That accent is what made me love cowboy characters.

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 12:20 am

Southern accents can be really cute if they're not too strong. It also helps if the person is kind and intelligent. When they don't play into stereotypes, the accent is quite charming.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 12:26 am

On the other paw, I've a Texan friend and you do NOT want to hear her when she's angry. The accent just makes her even scarier!

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 7:58 am

I live in Texas and I refuse to saw "y'all" and I don't have an accent as far as I can tell.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 8:05 am

I was born in the South and have lived in the South most of my life, but apparently I don't sound like it.

Post by **ArcWolf** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 8:14 am

Most americans have a generic American accent.

I can only recall this one girl in senior year of high school having a southern drawl.
It was kinda cute.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 8:53 am

I gots me a redneck accent.

Being serious, where I live, you sometimes come across people with a New York accent. It's hard to describe via text, but it's not something I'd describe as cute.

Post by **Dissension** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 7:58 pm

Here's the regional dialect I speak. [ link ]

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 9:17 pm

Definitely sounds like it is southern.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 9:44 pm

There really is no set "southern" accent. Accents are different depending on where you are in the south. Heck, that "redneck accent" I joked about earlier is a real thing where I am, and it sounds kinda sorta like a stereotypical southern accent to the point that I have no doubt people in other countries would mistake it for one.

It's the same for "British" accents. Accents actually change depending on where you are in Britain and there is no single one that you can accurately pin on the entire country.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 11:36 pm

Heck yes. I think Britain has far more accents, or at least a far greater variety of accents than the States.

Even we Australians have different accents depending on where we're from. For example the Queensland accent is different to the Sydney accent is different to the Hobart accent. In fact, my corner of Tasmania has its own distinct accent. You probably need to be a local to hear it though.

Mickey the Luxray · Post by **Mickey the Luxray** » Thu Oct 09, 2014 11:38 pm

My voice is funny. It's a baritone drawl in a small room, croaky in a large room, and nasally over a microphone (And I mean annoyingly nasally). I can't even tell what kind of accent I could possibly have.

I guess that's the curse of being a Southerner in a diverse Northern state.

Fri Oct 10, 2014 12:40 am

I have a fairly neutral accent.
yet somehow last year I got the question "Are you English or Irish?"

What's that language? I hear some English words, but the rest...

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Oct 10, 2014 8:53 pm

I really wish it was still my birthday so I could ask for requests.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sat Oct 11, 2014 2:05 pm

alot of people on the phone like my Canadian accent. I'm amused when some customers treat it as either a brookyn, Irish or scottish accent.

*rubs chin*

I should record it someday!

Britain has an enormous amount of accents. Here in the US/Canada, people have moved around a lot more so there is less variation. In Iowa, people sounds like they have a Wisconsin accent.
I've lived everywhere in the eastern half of this country, so I kind of picked up accent habits of all regions. Plus that fact that in Ohio, the accent is unique in each of the big and mid sized cities.

New Orleans has a VERY interesting dialect that sounds like a deep southern accent mixed with a sharp New York City accent.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 13, 2014 2:22 am

My voice is American Midwest, which is the "generic" American accent, to you foreigners out there!

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Mon Oct 13, 2014 11:02 am

I tend to relate "generic" with "boring," but Sleet is anything but boring.

Hey, I got a question of pure randomness. What kind of headphones/earbuds do you guys use (should you use them at all)?

I've been through at least 10-15 pairs of headphones in the past four years or so (around 7-10 of those were cheap Skullcandy earbuds).

I most recently had a nice pair of Kicker headphones but they broke and then were stolen and thrown out by a former friend.
I now use a pair of headphones from a Nintendo DS until I can get the money the Kickers were worth back.

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 558s as well, but they use a nonstandard 1/4" jack and the adapter for them broke. It's $20 for a replacement adapter. Once I get the money back I'll probably just ask my dad to buy the adapter.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon Oct 13, 2014 1:46 pm

Well, I got some ear buds with my iPhone 5s that are very interesting.

Sound quality's pretty good, and they don't seem to fall out as easily as conventional ear buds.

How do you prefer to listen to your music? I've always favored headphones over earbuds due to having weird ears.
I have me a pair of these <3
Not extremely comfortable compared to Sennheiser or Bose but they're excellent for the music I listen to. Also excellent for watching movies.
Save money and buy a good pair. Most high end headphones are durable and will last you a while.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Oct 13, 2014 2:57 pm

I have a pair of Sony earphones from the supermarket and they work really well. I also have a pair of INSYSTEM bluetooth headphones that I use sometimes and which also have great sound quality. The only problem with them is that they fall off, but I've never had that issue with my sony ones. I did have some folding sennenheiser headphones too but the cord wore out and so one side of them died. I broke my earphones that came with my ipod and had a pair of Sennenheiser earphones to replace them until they also broke.

Now don't get me wrong, sennenheiser is a good brand. They have good quality sound. I just found that they wore out.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Mon Oct 13, 2014 3:10 pm

My pair of sennenheiser's broke after not too long as well. I think it was the same issue you had (and of all of the other pair I had previously) where one side would quit working AS WELL as the wearing cord.

They were an excellent $20 pair of headphones, but worth $20 nonetheless.

Post by **Dissension** » Mon Oct 13, 2014 4:54 pm

I have a pair of these.
