OK, I've been quite curious about this from our British Commonwealth (Aussies, Canadians and Kiwis) and other from other parts of the US. <br /> <br />Write a sentence using spelling based on how you think people in Texas and the American South speak? The accents, the phrases and anything else...no holds barred!!!! For example( please correct them if you deem in necessary), many Americans know that Aussies speak like this, <br /> <br />"G'day mate, don't bo-dah me whilst I ploice me shrimp on the Bahr-be" (no offense intended) <br /> <br />Translation... "Good day friend, do not bother me while I place a shrimp upon the Bar-be-que." <br /> <br />Some Brits like this, <br /> <br />"Ell-o g'uv-nuh, 'alf a mo to spar some chainge for the lorre?" (no offense intended) <br /> <br />Tranlation, <br /> <br />"Hello, Sir (?), could you spare some change for a bus ride?" <br /> <br />other Brits saying the same phrase like this, <br /> <br />"I say, good fellow, wouldst it be too much trouble to provide me with some currency that I might ride upon that on coming conveyance?" <br /> <br />As many internationals image someone from New York (albiet somewhat difficult to write and maintain the intergity of this forum), <br /> <br />"Hey (body part), youse goys give me some (F-Wording) dough for the (insert blasphemy here)-damned bus! (said while applying a host of hand and body gestures)" <br /> <br />I think this promises to be fun, lets keep it civil though...with toughskinedness (new word)!!! <br />
