How do you pronounce usernames?

Yes. What gave me away?

I would never have thought my accent could be described as thick, but I guess it fits.

How you pronounced the Agent part VRWCAgent and this The difference between "I" and "y"

My cousin travels to Norway often and in any family gathering he would talk about how great it is, I suppose it rubbed off on me as I've learnt a few phrases on my own.

The way you pronounce "jeg" seems so bizarre to me.

It would be nice if you would share how you say them.

Jeg

How is this bizzare? It's is how almost everyone on the Eastland says it.

Edit: Oh, you mean how norwegians in general says it. Having the word "you" be for both singular and plural is pretty stupid. I'd rather blame the way it's spelled, though they say eg on the Westland.

Okay, I'm not using some weird online service, so I made a 5.5 MB .mp3 file and put it on my personal site for download/listening/however you want to access it. I started by reading the names that were active in CFC OT Tavern, then did the mods, then did usernames in this thread, then ran down the #fiftychat active users list.

Please note that I morph some usernames to things that make it easier for me to remember. Illram, for instance, is Illium to me. Yes, he is a city full of sexy asari babes. Anyhoo, here we go.

Thanks. :)
 
You know, I started going to English class. To take CPE (the highest level certification in English). My Irish teacher says I got an English accent. Brits here say I got an American accent. And Americans say I don't have an American accent. Lovely mess.

I haven't heard you say anything with an American accent either. Then again, I've never heard you say anything, but that's only a minor detail.
 
You pick up accents depending on how you learnt your English. If that was primarily from watching American TV, non-Americans might think you had an American accent. Given that accents vary between languages, even from the same person, one mystery I read hinged on the fact that the German suspect didn't have a Bavarian accent, so she always spoke in US English to hide that, even amongst other Germans.
 
well, I can't recall most of my teachers, but I've had a Scottish teacher, an English one, a German-Croatian one, and I think this one is the second Irish one I have. The rest have been from here. But the thing is that my last teacher says my accent is English. And Brits here have said my accent is American. And my German-Croatian teacher said my accent was Irish (although that was a few years ago).

The only explanation for a possible English accent is my last teacher (the English one), and his pronunciation classes. SH(e)S(ell)SS(ea)SH(ell)SOND(a)S(ea)SH(o)R(e)
 
Or maybe I shift accents depending on the context. :mischief:
 
Please react to how I pronounce things :(

Joank, I've made some recordings, what do you think of mein accent?
 
I dont have an ear for accents. Sorry, I cant help. :(

The last line of the joke is based on an English nursery called Hickory Dickory Dock.

Hickory, dickory, dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory, dickory, dock.
