marks a long pause in a sentance & introduces lists, or it can inroduce an extra piece of information. :D

i have no idea where that came from.. i failed english :(.

haha, well thank you for that, but does anybody actually use them

no :D

except when making smilieys :D

Don't worry, unless punctuation is vastly different in Scotland you still fail. It's to link two independent clauses. Pauses are always done with commas - I have no idea how you would show a "short" or "long" pause seeing as that's more of a verbal thing as opposed to a writing thing.

were both right actually.

The example list makes me feel silly seeing as I was doing that on a paper earlier ;_;

What words do you use for liquor store and laundry?

liquor store i say, im going to the shop/spar

laudry is called washing

like mum a need to put another washing in.

didnt you know we dont say them? :(

Nope, I had no idea about either of those, especially the washing/laundry one. Liquor store surprises a lot less since what it's called varies from place to place even within the US. For example where I grew up it's called a package store or packy for short.

yeah, alot of things yous say are different to ours, soccer & pants being main ones haha! sometimes we call shops 'corner shops' for various reasons im not sure i can discuss :(

Because it's a shop usually located on the corner of your street? If it isnt on the corner then it's usually referred to as something you might not want to repeat :p:

A "liquor store" is just an offy (off-licence) to me.

the corner shops are called that too. all shops are really.

ive never heard of an offy!

While we're on the language thing, what the hell is a tab? You completely lost me there... I'm not even going to attempt getting involved in this liquor store discussion or whatever it is you're talking about; I'm already completely lost there.

I think he means a cigarette but I have rarely heard anyone outside of the north east use that word in that context if he does.

Where in Kansas was your friend sent? I'm just curious because I live in Kansas.

People around my area say "woorsh" for wash. :/ 50% say laundry

i will ask her the next time shes only, n pm you or something :D

Yeah a tab is a cigarette. A liquor store is the Offie to me too.

I have seriously only ever heard anyone outside of the north east use the word tab maybe once or twice. I leave the north east and say im goin for a tab and people think im retarded.

Being as proud and bitchy as I am, I certainly "dazzle" them. It's good stuff. Racism sometimes works in my favor, though. Like when I'm out and get hit on. I can always resort to not speaking English. Ooh, or even better. Jury duty.

It is predominantly a North East thing but I use a lot of slang and some is not related at all to where I come from.

Dislikes: People who fail to understand evident sarcasm

Dislikes:
People who fail to realize their "evident" sarcasm is only "evident" to them because they're "evidently" unable to think with enough empathetic perspective to realize how obscure their communication is to others.

I'm not targeting you, I just thought you should try and understand that.
Might help with the little problem you're evidently having.

Dislike: People who think using the same word throughout a sentence at regular intervals, clearly highlighting said usage as a form of satirical exaggeration.

I'm not targeting you, I'm just trying to help you with a problem you don't think you have.

Funny you should bring that up.
You mentioned something about sarcasm earlier...



Apparently you have the wrong idea about what sarcasm is.
You should work on that.

I did? Hmmm, seems I'm unable to recall. I'll not let subjectivity consume me, I'll work on necessities instead. Thanks for the advice dude.

Evidently you missed the joke.

Just stop.
Seriously.

...you made this joke somewhere already...yikes...

There wasn't a joke.

And then he said "No soap radio!" lol
