Must toshmann:Must i like every thing on earth? you cant say because i don't like one particular language, then i have turned to a racist, the whites that hate blacks are not one, very large in number, just like a collective thing overthere, they claim balcsk are monkeys, so that one is unrealistic, but here is accent, not language, I may like someone speaking Yoruba with a good accent while another one would speak same yoruba with a terrible accent, (pronunciation) so don't mix it together sir, Accent and racist are different ball game |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by toshmann(m): 8:22am On Jul 28, 2007 |
honeric01: so you hate an accent. then you are likely to be biased against someone with the accent you hate. if you are an employer you most likely wont employ such people[i] simply b/c of their accent[/i]. their accent is natural. na so God make am. who are you to say which is cool and which is $hit. dude there is no difference btw you and those who think skin color has a direct relationship with quality. one thing i've discovered amongst racist white men is their grave disdain for the african accent(s). how are you different? |

LETS BE SINCERE, BACK TO YOU, IS IT ALL ACCENT THAT YOU LIKE? be honest here, |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by toshmann(m): 8:42am On Jul 28, 2007 |
i cant come out to denigrate other people's accent. it is irresponsible in this contemporary global village we are living in |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by WesleyanA(f): 8:49am On Jul 28, 2007 |
yeah no hating on accents. i love accents as long as the speech is comprehensible. that's why i listen to bbc. so many foreign accents from all over the world. lol including our nigeria of course. toshmann: <---- my face. is it beautiful enough? lol |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by honeric01(m): 8:53am On Jul 28, 2007 |
toshmann:see preaching, well I don't want to sound insulting here, but you saw the topic of this thread before you had to comment, they only asked for accents that annoy and fascinates you, not coming here to preach about me not to dislike any accent, have you ever dislike anything on this planet earth before? if yes, then that makes you a racist too, no matter what you hated, it's still discrimination. however i never said i hated any language, i only said some accent even when its the same language annoys me, i mean one person may speak this same Yoruba language and it will sound fascinating to me while another might also speak and then gets on my nerves due to the pronunciations, thats all i said, ok? i speak Yoruba too |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by toshmann(m): 8:59am On Jul 28, 2007 |
WesleyanA:yea. we resemble. . . . my face-----------> see? let's start from there. how are you doing? honeric01: have i hated something b4? yes. i hate injustice. i hate racism/tribalism and double standards in all it's ramifications. does that seem right? yes. wether you hate a language or an accent in a language, you are hating something someone was born with. you must have read someone say something about BBC and lots of accents, who has the knowledge to say which accent is cool or otherwise. obviously if you hate something, someone with that thing is likely to put you off. this is not preaching. it is common sense and being civilised. we are in the 21st century. |

To me it doesn't matter what region of a country or w/e country you are from, if it's too thick to where even if you speak at a normal or slow pace and I can't understand or it just hurts my ears it's annoying, but most annoying are really thick australian or british or boston or NYC or Baltimore, MD accents. |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by chiogo(f): 8:06pm On Jul 28, 2007 |
