Who's dialect here annoys you most?

Some of the people here who are not from U.S. on here
sometimes use words I dont understand. Like when B3n used
"moft", it confused the hell out of me.

If my grammer sucks oh well, I type to fast, my fingers
arent alined right, or Im thinking of one word and trying to
type another, I use lots of commas as well "," any one of
these could be a reason why my grammer sucks.

As far as accents, we here Tecksuns are nowon for dem der
acksents, so der aint much dat I can du 'bout it.Even though
I dont really have a Texas accent.

And number one rule when Im rattling on about something, for
instance motherboards or what hard drive,etc, etc, I always
assume that person knows nothing about what Im talking about
(no offense to anyone that knows what Im talking about). So
I go in-depth to make sure they get what they need and to
make sure that they dont get the wrong thing and come back
and sue me for screwing them over.

I knew aluminum was pronounced differently outside the USA
(always makes me laugh when I hear it), but I didn't know it
was spelled differently too.

Silly me thought all the element names were standardized!

JEdi Chris and Ceri Jc are the two biggest geeks I know
here. I cant beleive that the way someone spells something
or uses language here makes you angry..... my god.. go live
a little, this is the internet.

i only get really mad when people say 'TOUNGE' instead of
tongue.

small mistakes like 'sentance' and 'aweful' do not bother me
at all!

Jedi Chris: yeah, thats it, Everyone hates me, I find it
funny that because you say I use horrible grammar or
spelling people must hate me, I still say no matter what
that your one of the #1 geeks here and, you should really
get out more.

hmmm, I really don't understand why you'd post a thread
about how peoples grammer annoys you... are you really that
easily annoyed? Ceri, I have nothing against you, but I
noticed you posting in the Pointless message thread about
how stupid it was, but at least it wasn't going to cause any
arguements... you must've known that dissing Reflex's
grammer, or dialect, whatever, was going to get his
attention...

Your spelling and grammar isn't the only reason people hate
you! That's just scratching the surface!

Seeing bad grammar and spelling and things like that annoy
me, but it's not REAL annoyance... kind of a subtle, funny
annoyance. I don't hate people because of their butchering
of the English language... I just hate their butchering of
the English language!!! Grr!

Jedi Chris: Why do you have such a grudge against REFLEX?
Hardly anyone hates him anymore. You may have your own
opinions but you don't have to express them with such
hatred.

BTW: Putting a wink at the end of an insult annoys me more
than grammar and spelling put together.

;)
It's really nasty.

It's just one of those things Chri5py, sometimes people just
take an instant disliking to someone. This is one of those
occassions. I think he is a very disturbed individual.

An I also respect his right to call me and Ceri 'geeks' !
It is of no consequence to me.

Cool. I'm glad.

I might bake a cake in a minute. Does anyone want a slice?
It's just a sponge with choc chips, jam filling and royal

I am a crap typist..a lot of my spelling errors are typing
errors..and I think punctuation gets in the way of thought
flow..hence I seperate everything via(...)Somehow to me
that's a tad more conversational..but I think now that I may
be pissing a lot of spelling bee and gramma mamma
off..probably..to me spelling and grammer and or punctuation
is inconsequential..as long as the poster is communicating
the ideas in the form and shape they are comfortable
with..as it might have been pointed out English may not be
the first language of all the posters and they shouldnt be
saddled and reined in with..hmm..trivialities..if you get
what someones saying..hooray..nothing else matters

...and this Reflex bashing is getting a bit tedious btw..

Just as a question, whatever did come of Reflex anyway? Not
that I miss him, I'm just curious...

will respond...

For me it has to be you Ceri and Jedi Chris. I can't stand
your common Barryite lingo. Though I went to school in your
town I managed to retain my classier, Penarthian dialect.
