# Let them have some girl.
and whilst you are at it ask all these buffoons where the celebrities are in all these challenge posts. Competition blindness strikes again.

# I'm not in a bad mood at all. Just feeling bouncy
Those creatures are pretty fabulous and well animated by the way.

# Not my skill at all.
I just made it in the spore creature thing and it does the animation for you.

# haha! I only now read the challenge brief in full
I read earlier 'fat' and 'England' and ran with it.

Thank you for pointing out what should have been obvious.

# If I were a mod I'd naughty step all those who say "should of"
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*.

# My pet hate
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.

# aye but you lads are guilty of things like "shall we just sit off for a minute?
"i were walking down the road the other day" and yorkshire and the last two letters of "the"

# Quite honestly I love it
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".
(, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 18:38, archived)
# the whole think about Yorkshire
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.
(, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 18:40, archived)
# C'mon!
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.

# I'm aloof from all of this because
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.

From those who buy Heinz Baked Beans to those who want truffles from Fortnum and Mason.

# So what do you want then?
Global language unification? We're not machines, our language always differs in different areas, even with mass media.

# oh no i love these odd little quirks for the most part.
but inverting borrowed and lend just seem a tad odd to me
(, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 18:54, archived)
# It seems odd because it's technically wrong - it conflicts with how you learned the language.
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.
