on the subject of Gervais i know its been out for ages and no doubt discussed but i thought it was well weapon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's been a while since I saw "Nathan Barley" and luckily little of the catchphrases stuck - something being weapon, is that good or bad? |
||||||||

He's good in bruce allmighty. The first script was written by Gervais and team, the rest is purely american. Well done America. |

not seen it in ages, but i accidentally stumbled across the co.ck website and that was the phrase used on the website, i smiled if only for a short while in summary 50/50 |

yeah the references in it were all yank based, but nicely converted, the thing it lacked was character development, i didnt really give a shit about how the characters evolved unlike the original |

could also be because you now know the concept? I don't know, I haven't seen the American version. |

That's the silly thing! Americans speak 'english' but really they speak american. Offices all over the world have micro relations. When I was 18 I worked in sorento (italy) as a translator. The only way I could do it was translate to english first. |

I honestly don't know. Probably my Brain. |

|
|
but did you translate Italian into English? or the other way round? which would make the sentence "The only way I could do it was translate to english first." kind of weird. but not disturbing. ..not yet.. |

the American broadcasting corporation? |

Americans speak American. British people speak British. No one speaks English. |

you are mistaken. English teachers in other countries than the UK or the US, speak English. my dad is an English teacher and he speaks a sterilised kind of English - it is English, you recognise it as being such, but it's just not a kind of English anyone normally speaks. |

You have proved your ignorance splendidly. Bravo! |

something about it really only works with gervais and british accents. |

So, your Dad never says slang ever? He never speaks colloquial language ever? Your Dad isn't from anywhere? A place where speach is constantly evolving? |
