As I said earlier today - I find this absolutely hilarious, and I cannot find it in me to be guilty about it.  But perhaps it's because of my own speech impediments that I've worked hard to overcome - I  know the frustration of not being understood, so... both sides of the coinville! :D

[Kara_J]

roflmao!!

[WhiteWolf]

Happens all the time in our place, damned english can't even speak their own lingo*ggls*

 

Nice one Elgee, good to see you putting your time to helping the disadvantaged in the community ;)

 

Owen

[Elgee]

Cute, funny, naughty, trust fund baby ... yah ... very disadvantaged  ;D

[Mystica]

LMAO!!!!! this becomes even funnier when you've worked with asians as I have the last 4 years. I can literally hear them say that. ROFL too funny!

 

So now I have a new buzz word. If any of you ninnies nag about my spelling again, be warned.

 

IM A FOLINOR!!!!

[Naeann]

Heh too funny.

 

 

Myst.. dont say I am.. say I follinger.

[Samuraiflip05]

My Grandmother was Native Japanese, and even after 50 years in the USA, she stilled had the R=L thingy going on. 

[Nenriel Sedai]

woo hahahaha hilarious. I can kinda relate. My dad has a mexican who works for him, sweet guy he just can't speak english.....much.

[Guest nephitess]

Oh gosh!!! thats funny...

 

 

[Taya]

That is so cute ;) My mum used to have a client she sewed for, and the word we always remember that he said was "reeotye" - his word for leotard :) She gave him lessons, as her name is Leigh and he could say that just fine ;) But even with her saying "LEIGH-oh-TARD" very slowly, and him repeating each separate syllable perfectly, he still couldn't say the whole word properly.

 

Still, I'm glad I'm not a "folliner" who has to learn English..I'd probably suck at it!! I love languages but I'm crappy at them ;) aside from English of course, lucky native speaker that I am *g*

[Elgee]

I'm a folliner too, but luckily I was raised in a Bilingual family, and grew up in an area where English was widely spoken, but it must be one of the most difficult languages to learn!

 

I took 4 other "follin" languages at school and university, and apart from Russian, they were a breeze, compared to English.

[Ludmian]

I believe every language is difficult in its own way, but I don't think English is that difficult in comparison to many other languages. German is much more difficult, IMHO, and I can only imagine what a hard time folliners have when they learn my native tongue (Russian).

 

Elgee, what were those other languages you learned?

[Elgee]

Trust me - German is MUCH easier than English! Just about any language is, where it comes to pronouncing and spelling  ;D

 

I did German at school (apart from English and Afrikaans), then I did French, Italian and Russian at university. When I worked at the Church Archives, I had to learn Dutch in order to read and translate the old stuff.

[Raeyn]

 

Of course, knowing Elgee, her bad Russian is probably much better than mine; woman is too talented for her own good!  что вы думаете? ;)

 

 

[Mystica]

she forgot the 5th.... jibberish. Got another one of my sisters that has that skill. Taymist is an expert in jibberish. It grows on you after a while though and makes you feel all fuzzy and warm inside, but then  you get kinda' worried when you actually start to understand it.

 

I only know Dutch, French, German and English. Oh and Mysticaism.

[Raeyn]

 

Je voudrais te violer maintenant?  Oh wait, willing, willing... *whistles*

 

*puts on a halo*

 

Yeah, I made an offhand comment once on-air about slur counting as a language, so one of my listeners added that to my DJ profile.. sigh :D

[Elgee]

Вы думаете смешно, Raeyn  ;D

 

 

Je voudrais te violer maintenant?  Oh wait, willing, willing... *whistles*

 

*puts on a halo*

 

rofl ! Vous êtes une jeune femme coquin  ;D
