and whilst you are at it ask all these buffoons where the celebrities are in all these challenge posts. Competition blindness strikes again.

Those creatures are pretty fabulous and well animated, by the way.

It is difficult to start off cashless and I don't mind helping folk out. But I can turn 10g into 100 in a day just playing the AH so it's not bad once you get past that initial first 10 or so levels having nothing but coppers and needing all the gear you can afford.
Having said that I'm a bit skint now. I had 3400+ 2 weeks ago, I'm down to 1190 right now. Spending 1340g on a gun might have been extravagant.

I read earlier 'fat' and 'England' and ran with it.
Thank you for pointing out what should have been obvious.

instead of "should have".
And those who spell "definitely" as "definately".
And those who get up my nose.
And those who constantly seek attention.
And those who spell "though" as "tho", "light" as "lite", etc.
Come to think of it, everyone really except that one, that one and that one *points*.

which is amongst Southerners, for no other reason than they can't speak properly, is when they mean to get a certain something from a certain person and they utter the hideous phrase "I'm gonna get it off of Jim".
Off of? What the blazing saddles goes through your minds before you utter such nonsense?

"He is going to give it oooss".
None of us is perfect.
Except me of course.
And possibly you on a good day.

I'm a Londoner but I love the different way people speak from all around the British Isles.
Especially northerners.
I deal a lot with an elderly Yorkshireman and I could listen to him all day long with his "Thees and thous".

and saying 't' instead of 'the is a myth perpetuated by Southerners and usually is accompanied by tales of whippets and flat caps.
I have no comprehension of your first sentence. I have never heard that uttered or seen it written before in my life.
Everybody goes "down the road" and it's Cumbrians and north Lancastrians who might be guilty of saying 'were' as a prefix. Certainly not here in Manchester.

The people I deal with from Yorkshire do the "t" thing all the time although they are generally the older generation (50 plus). The younger ones don't seem to do it as much.
The "give it ooosss" thing I've not heard in Manchester but I have in the North East and Yorkshire and even in parts of Nottingham.

despite being from the slums of Salford I have managed to grow up having good diction, elocution and grammar skills.
I cower whenever I see Coronation Street. I'm glad I did not end up like that.

Global language unification? We're not machines, our language always differs in different areas, even with mass media.

But before long "wrong" words end up more prevalent than "right" words, and people who condemn others for doing it wrong are little more than old men waving sticks around and gibbering about the decline of language.
