Why the **** do you ****ers use the same verbage?

ie: lad, mate, brilliant (or is that just ron?)

all you ****s all talk the same and ****. and as a note: i hate it! you **** are in different countries! is it like because american's do not accept you foreign, 3rd world **** to talk like us... your dumbass' uses words like those?

enlighten me....



-The Dogg

You're unhappy...

It's because we speak English (International) whilst you speak English (American).

If you don't believe me, check the settings on Windows....

- The Jake

I've never said lad, brilliant or mate. It's just them weird aussies that say that.

In all seriousness, America is the only country I can think of that took the english language and bastardised it to develop their own version. Despite all our slang, Australia still uses the proper English language - and so do all other countries, especially those that learned it as a second language. Because the American version is technically 'improper'.

- The Jake

The Jake- what the **** does international differ from american? its ****in english dip****! how does international (meaning more diverse than american) give you ****in ****crap words like "mate"?!?!?!
you are a liar. **** you and shut up. good day, sir.

Squezze- then explain LukeDoesSuckethda****'s language... he is canadian and uses words like: "lads".



-The Dogg

We took it and made it our own.....

True, If I'm listening I can understand an English better than an American...

mate = friend, buddy

lad= person

how the **** are we improper?
the word mate is used for us as a compatable person, not like we would say something that would sound as gay as: hello, friend"(ie: hello, mate). NO! its just plain "hi". that other "proper" language is just plain gay and was made for tree huggers.

It's because the Americans changed the spelling of certain words.
For instance, periodisation and periodization. The former is they way it is spelt in English proper, the later is American-English.

That's off the top of my head.

If what you are referring to are colloquialisms (e.g. mate, lad,etc.) they are indigenous to every culture. Each culture will develop it's own slang from the native language (this includes the English). Colloquialisms are nothing more but a casual use or extension of the language.

To which are you referring to?

Correct.

- The Jake

I hate like words and stuff.......there's like too many of them

colloquialisms is what i am refering to. it is understandable that countries develop their own lingo or slang persay... however, my question is trying to understand how the **** people in different parts of the country can be so similar (ie: canada, australia, europe)?

like you said, people of different natures are going to have their own slang, but my observance has yet to prove that point, sir.


-The Dogg

Well, umm, ****.

There's hundreds of possible variables influencing the development of colloquialisms!

There's the structure of the language, surrounding territorities and languages, the development of the nation, immigration demographics and how an immigrant culture can influence the development of another nation (e.g. Australia is heavily influenced by Greeks in particular). Again, that's off the top of my head.

Too many variables to comprehend.

Pick a specific country and maybe we can work from there.... ?

- The Jake

australia and europe

Dogg apart from a few select expressions we sound like Yanks. We are the closest to you in our English on this planet I believe. Where you go lumping us with the penal colony descendants?

As for why this is so(why we sound like you) the quick and dirty explanation is that among the popular layers of society growing cultural, economic and social ties with the US and diminishing meaningful ties with Britain and the Empire caused people over here to look to America for the lead in these areas.

But in the end like Jake said it would be a long and nauseating exposé to explain why the aussies say "Fawstar`s" instead of "Foster's". Or why they suffer Steve Irwin to live.

you are the only person who has made any of this whole bool**** stuff.... make sense. thank you, sir. i understand now.....

canada is actually ok and more on the level mind of that of the US. And the Aussies and Europeans are the jackass idiots that talk funny, and use gay ass words like "mate" and stuff.

Thank you, sir. Your post was most apprecaited and you will now be known as the BEST POSTER EVER! :)

you're words frighten and confuse me

Seldom- your ****in last post just sent me to the toilet ready to throw up, you piece of ****. that was a ****in headache and a half reading all that ****in "yank" and "mate" talk.

SPEAK ENGLISH MOTHER****ER! ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually if you are curious why we speak in a similar way Dogg you might wanna start with the Scotch-Irish that came over in the New World in the 17th century and in Canada after the Conquest in 1759. They are what today journalists call "The Protestants" in Northern Ireland. Back in the day they came from the Ulster plantations and settlements started in O. Cromwell's time and before.

The reason I bring this up is that they are one among many other groups that had an impact on early North American English. If you listen to the Rev. Ian Paisley speak apart from a few words you'd swear he was from New England. There are many more pieces to this puzzle but they are one important piece.

As I was checking out the country and the animals I realised just how bloody proud I am to be an Aussie.

Is it time to go on walkabout yet?

America has been split w/ England for 2 and a qurter centuries. Since then a food of Immigrants have come toAmerica which again significantly affects America's language. In the South and New England there are sigificantly diverse colloquialisms and pronunciations which are deeply Anglo. "darens't i say" "Y'all' and numerous others. These two areas are America's most traditional areas. In new England, "R"s are placed at the end of words ending in "a," like "Liser" "ideer" rather than lisa and idea. Again Anglo influence. The south attracted different English from different areas so you'll here different pronunciations down there which are closer to Engish spoken in he SE of the island. Georgia especially was influenced by British. The Scots-Irish then began affecting the language, they speak in a really really really strange jargon that's less desipherable than any other British dialec in the the world.In actually coming here they lerned to speak English better, than they ever would in Ulster. Most wuld rise to incredible affluence though and still speak poorly, a la George W. Bush. With Irish and German immigrationbegining as early as the 1830-40's and continuing into the 1920's u have a huge effet placed on the language. The rish already spoke English, but again incredibly different. The Germans learned it but always kept their traditional tongue, the Blacks who learned English, like the Irish, never did so formally. This again affects the over all language andtrough musi the colloquialisms. Other immigrants would affect the cities and areas they settled. Thus New Orleans, Boston, L.A., New York and Miami may have accents associated w/ them belonging to immigrant groups even if they'e been here for generations. The Australian language is a result of mainly Engish and quite a few Irish prisoners. The penal colony was far longer under English rule and not until after WWII did any immigration floods occur. Canada too, was a British colonyfor much longer than America and the inhabitants were mostly from the British isles. Thus the accents and colloquialisms are far more similar than Americas, but the accent is practically no different than most Americans.

I hope that cears it up for you Dogg. If you visit different regions of America you'll realize that there are distinctly different dialects. If it's the colloquialisms that botehr you remember, England controlled these areas quite firmly till about the end of WWI.The British empire, (world's greatest) was built on a navy so "mate" came from their, even our navy calls seamen "mates". hey fought in wars under British commanders and their sports are influenced by English sports such as soccer, the world's largest sport. You'll hea a lot of europeans, when speaking enlish call others "mates". RtBrouer does this. They get it frm the sports telecasters and stuff like that. It's a little extreme to call them***gsfor it. They've whipped out a lot of bad ass dudes. Remember the British isles have provided the world w/ it's most bad ass people. England dominated the world unlike any empire ever had. At the start of their empire they had 3 million people of the Earth's 100 million. They'd wind up owning 70% percent and controlling 90% the economy. Hitler's dream was to be England. I mean really the stuff these people did is sick. Boone, Crocket, Jackson, Washington; they're all American heros but they're ancestry is back in Ulster and England. If you can imagine a society of Sgt. Hartman's (the drill sargeant in FullMetal JAcket) that's them. I could really go on more about it but i've whored two consecutive posts so i'll stop, but if you want ust look up on the history of America and of teh British isles and u'l see it's no joke.

Man!! Dogg is a joker-dictator.....

Jesus Rock Dog, did you do a report on this or somthin?

lol no kapps, but i woke up one day and wondered why th hell we have accents so i went and tried to get some info from the internet and other stuff, but i wound up w/ no answers just this stuff. I will say i have an unusal interest in history which kind of helped me out.

Dogg...mate it would be a privilege and an honour mate!

I don't speak Canadian, I just sound like an idiot because half the things I say on here are just quotes from movies mixed in with my retarted grade 3 vocabulary.
