Why do Scottish people type phonetically?

Why can't Scottish people talk properly, like the rest of us??

It's difficult to understand them talk in general, when they are pointing and waving at the bar, etc.

But this Scottish typing thing, I can't understand the buggers!

It can't be just me, is it?

I'm just shocked at the level of misunderstanding we as a united modern democratic country have - I can't understand those sheep-shaggers either!

 

must you confine everyone to these stereotypes of yours?

 

Exactly


They are just as articulate as any other group. It's not their fault you don't listen carefully and make the effort to understand them.

If it's any consolation they probably don't like or understand you either. I'm sure they could just as easily level various complaints about my own speech (afterall bath isn't spelt with a r in the middle, so why do people in Hampshire prounce it that way).

We really aren't that united, what with them having a seperate parliment and all. In fact wasn't the whole point of Hadrian's wall to keep us apart.

Diversity is a wonderful thing, life would be so boring if everyone conformed to someone's prescribed idea of normality.

 

People in Hampshire sound strange we should build a wall around them to keep them in.
Then pay people to poke them with sticks on Bank Holidays

 

I think one of the strangest accents in the world has to be the Brooklyn/Jersey/NYC accent. I don't have anything against Northern accents or anything, I don't really mind Boston/Massacusetts and Maine accents...

 

Fuck, I can't understand most brits, either..

it takes some time to get used to. though america has some interesting accents..

 

ahahaha who are you i like you :H

 

That's how my dad says it... he's from da backwoodz.

 

we can mate, we just choose not to.....call me shallow but a culture built around cheeky tricksters, rhyming slang and jellied eels just doesn't apeal

now get back down the highstreet...yer pearly kinds and queens need adoration...being able to sew on multiple buttons deserves acclaim...right?

 

?? dunno
I'm from Stoke

 

ah...so no culture at all? .... my sympathies

 

If everyone spoke the same life will be really boreing and i cannot stand anyone being the same, even in a good way.

Well I speak standard english without an accent, except when I'm at the football where I tend to adapt to the cockney surroundings (when in Rome). I have no problem understanding other accents although sometimes it's hard to keep a straight face listening to some of them. As far as typing goes, it's not Scots in particular who are guilty of typing using txt spk (I mean come on, you've got a qwerty available and no character limit - just admit it you can't spell and you can't touchtype!), it's everyone. And I detest anyone who does it.

If I ever end up in america (god forbid) I think I'll make it my policy to speak scouse or bristolian and anyone who can't understand me will be considered to uncultured to be worthy of my attention.

Ooo you got a old castle and a church dead cultural

Personaly I'd take the oatcake

 

lol is stoke even a city? I thought it was six towns that someone managed to interlink with a road

You live in a city that got overshadowed by Birmingham of all places....back to the cottonmill boy, papa needs a new shirt....and the spinning jenny could do with oiling....too funny

 

Hahahaha

 

Birmingham second largest city in England
But Stoke is closer to Manchester Third largest city
Stoke central of the Midlands logistics wise the best positioned place in UK

Midlands heart of industry for hundreds of years

Durham err some trees
Your a bloody yokel for Christ's sake
You got running water yet

Still go to see the wise woman with your ill’s

You better watch out the village elders might burn you in the town square for using your strange magic box (computer to we enlighten folk)

How did you get it anyway anything to do with magic beans on the way to market?

Did your mummy scold you for not selling Daisy the cow and coming back with a PC?



The one thing I am curious about though where do you get your electric or as you rural folk say Satan’s bongo juice

Wait some Midlander from the big city probably fixed it!
