[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by iandor</i> <br /><br />Brian I only made that up to brighten your day; regarding you lagomorph problem. <br /> <br />Everyone wants to be wanted, even if all you got out of it was a laugh, ok mate.. <br /> <br /> <br />Joe you remeber when we had all that trouble with that Disneyland bloke and she came up shortly after and said she wanted to sell her entire collection. <br /> <br />I contacted her and started negotiations in a very positive way and she did not come back to me; so i concluded she was a mate of the Disneyland bloke and just sending us up, well I was dead wrong. <br /> <br />Regards Ian <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />In terms of orthography and semantics I must ask a question of Modern Britianic Language (including Aussie, Canadian and Kiwi tounges). <br /> <br />When is the term "bloke" appropiate? Is it ever a negative term. I should very much like to use it in its correct context. <br /> <br />Is a female "bloke" referred to as a "bird (sp)?" What's it all about, Alfie? <br /> <br />Is the accent (inflection) that is stereotypically placed on Canadians in U.S. Television a mixture of the English Accent and Scandanavian dialets, or French? <br /> <br />What do you Modern Britanic think of the "American Accent?" Do you hear an accent in the standard American language? What do y'all think of the Southern accent or, for that matter, Ebonics? <br /> <br />This is just for my own socciology and curiosity? But to keep this in line with trains.... <br /> <br />Woooooooooooo! Woooo![:D]
