I don't have anything to quote right now, but since the other Quotable Quotes thread spilled over to page 2, here's a new one.

Somebody quote something.

Re: Quotable Quotes Part Two

What's sad is that I realized afterwards that my quick-and-dirty phonetic spelling should really have included some way of indicating that "dyuhlekts" had three syllables and wasn't "dyuh-lekts" - and wished I could have corrected it. :D

That only applies if you are a yankee. In the south it's di-lekts. So clearly, your spelling of dyuhlekts was just a dilektual spelling.

That would be my first point. :) We don't have a Received American Pronunciation, which any sort of official changeover to a phonetic alphabet would end up requiring. I imagine that's something people would get past if it were to somehow happen.

Of course, if various English-speaking countries were to both go phonetic with different alphabets, hilarity would ensue...

Re: Quotable Quotes Part Two

I used to make fun of my Appalachian ex-wife when she would say things like "I boughten something..", but recently I have been listening to a "Great Courses" series on Linguistics and the professor brought up how that was a common syntax in the 1800s.

I won't apologize, of course, but I'll probably think twice before I give someone a hard time for their pronunciation again.

dhex's picture

Re: Quotable Quotes Part Two

my wife has a hilarious mixture of modern long island (itself a debased new york accent with some stretched out vowels) and a stereotypical "brooklyn" set of pronunciations in certain words. so you get "i sore it" (i saw it) and "i'm saw" (i'm sore).

leaves me in stitches it does.

Re: Quotable Quotes Part Two

A long time ago, I had a girlfriend who had grown up in the south as a little kid, but went through a bunch of classes late so she could speak "proper english". She did speak very well although she sounded a bit pretentious.

I vividly remember the day she referred to a person's "crown" in a sentence. I kept demanding that she say the word "crown" followed by the word "crayon". She could not, try as she might, say the difference. I was so pleased that I had found her Achilles' heel.

And apparently "gotten" at least used to be unheard-of in the UK. I've read a story on this distinction with the anecdote of someone returning after a long stay in the US sending ahead "I've gotten free tickets for something" without thinking and finding himself welcomed by his wife and eight friends eager to go to the event.

If I am, I'm unaware of it, too.

AC is actually a pretty common internet appellation. More than a few websites use "AC" as the default commenter name (short for "anonymous commenter" or "anonymous coward"), so I think people tend to pick it up and use it elsewhere.

Oh, for what it's worth, I think I was wrong about "John". (Remember my reservations on the Quotable Quotes Part One thread).

The John (peleus@aol.com) does indeed seem to be our military lawyer who cannot spell. But I must say, he does not seem to be the same frothing at the mouth John that I remember. Maybe I just got used to him. Geezers like me can do that you know.

I hope you will pardon my sentimental conviction that psilocybin mushrooms are the flesh of God, but I would like to point out that psilocybin is a scientifically documented medicine for any number of made up insanity disorders. It is much better than the retard drugs that nazi mind scientists feed to insane and depressed people.

Mushrooms are taken only once to cure psychological ailments, and pharmaceutical antidepressants are just speed to make you addicted to their retard society. Emotional lobotomy is what shrink drugs do to you. So I think this massacre happened because that violent retard whose name I can't even remember didn't get the medicine he needed because it was illegal because the United States hath forsooken GAWD and all that.

Indian medicine makes you feel bad now and good later. White Man "medicine" makes you feel good now, bad later. Adderall tastes like candy when you crush it up and snort it. Coincidence? I like libertarian philosophy but you all need to do to make it better, REALLY, is to substitute LSD for speed in the whole Ayn Rand tweaker cult thing.

Delightfully incoherent!

Re: Quotable Quotes Part Two

I am gonna bitch about this again I know but here it goes. Tros pisses me off. Not because he acts like an immature prick or that he pulls references like the CIA creating meth from his ass. No, what pisses me off about him is his attitude is the very reason that drug prohibitionists think drugs should be illegal. The louder he screams, the more insane he seems and the more I wish to distance myself from the "movement". It is for this reason that I am thankful that LEAP is on the scene now. LEAP is "Law and Order". LEAP isn't NORML. LEAP doesn't sponsor "smoke ins" or other protests. LEAP doesn't get it's money from Soros. In short, it is the squeeky clean, non-hippy organization that the Anti-Prohibition movement needs.

Huh, just like the Libertarian party I guess. I mean, libertarianism is fantastic but when the defacto "legit" players are "Blue Man" Jones and Starchild, you just want to turn around and run away from it as fast as you can.

HISTORIAN: Defeat at the debate seems to have utterly disheartened Ron Paul. The ferocity of the Giuliani taunting took him completely by surprise, and Dr. Paul became convinced that a new strategy was required if the quest for the Presidency were to be brought to a successful conclusion. Dr. Paul, having consulted his closest aides, decided that they should separate and search for the Presidency individually. Now, this is what they did: Badnarik—

I do feel for Akira and his frustrations. And someone here said they thought Mad Max provokes him too much. Nevertheless, I had to enjoy the road warrior's comeback here:

Because, sadly, being stupid enough to believe in God doesn't mean that they can't figure out how to use a computer and post to Hit & Run.

akira,

I don't use those devil-boxes you call computers. If I have a post to make, I ask my atheist friend Bob to type it for me. Then I assume an angel takes my message to the Internet.

There, now I bet you're embarrassed for calling me stupid!

May 18, 2007 Adventure in B.A.: In Which I Try to Make Reservations in Spanish

So my wonderful girlfriend was about to make reservations last night, but then said I should give it a go. She ran each word by slowly, and I typed them out phonetically, so I'd know how to pronounce them. Here's what I wrote:

key arrow oss air una resairvacion bara oy alas ocho e madey-a bara dose pair-a-sonas.

So I called. The guy answered. And I read the text. He audibly sighed. And then he replied, in perfect English, "So there are two of you, right?"

Whether you agree with his list or not is, I think, irrelevant.

If these proclamations are based on SOME OTHER principle or principles, I'd like to hear what those are. Maybe he's got a better thing going on. (But in that case, why proclaim oneself as unprincipled?)

Otherwise, they're based on his gut reactions to different situations. And in that case, I might as well vote for a f---ing squirrel. At least damage would be limited to (1) excessive nut consumption, and (2) panicked scurrying up peoples' legs.

Re: Quotable Quotes Part Two

[tangent]I actually hate all but two of the flavors in the new Lifesavers roll. They replaced the classic Cherry, Orange, Lime, Pineapple and Lemon (all delicious) with Cherry, Watermelon, Pineapple, Apple and Gross (Blackberry). The only flavor out of those that I really like is the Cherry one, with pineapple as delicious but not good enough to justify buying the roll. The watermelon flavor is absolutely terrible, and the green apple is so inferior to the Jolly Rancher apple and to the original lime that it's completely inedible. The blackberry* I actually spat across the room in disgust, even though real blackberries are one of my favorite things. In 2002 my favorite candy in the world was discontinued forever** and I haven't bought Lifesavers since. After five years I am still angry about this, just typing this rant is causing me to clench my jaw in fury. Bring back the lime Lifesaver, you bastards! BRING IT BACK! I WILL CUT YOU! Especially because those berry-liking sluts already had the berry flavor roll and the other fuckfaces already had tropical fruit. But no, Wrigley, you can't just leave well enough alone you had to go all New Coke with a classic. I hope you get cancer, assholes.[/tangent]

* According to wikipedia the orange flavor came back, so now there are 3/5 in the flavor roll that are edible.
**The lime Lifesaver

Well, when you've got a guy who looks at his political opponents and sneers "they're only saying that so they can get laid," it's natural to wonder how often the guy in question gets laid himself.

I wonder if his hand spits or swallows?

Could you type that again? I saw "skinny blonde", "eat" and "out" and my mind sort of wandered.
