Lessee....what to talk about...
I know! Does any of Larry's friends listen to her talk?
I was actually LISTENING to myself earlier, and realized how funky (and oldish) I talk. D:
If I'm not paying attention to what I'm really saying, "never" comes out as "ne'er", words like orange come out as "oinge"....
I talk FUNKY. D:
I've even caught myself saying "me" instead of "my", and "o'er" instead of "over".
I guess I don't like V's. :U
My TH's tend to be pronounced hard....like in "those". So the soft th in "thistle" is replaced so it comes out as "this-ull". D:
And then there's German. Oh lordy.
If you listen to me after I'm done studying for a test or something, I add GERMAN into my sentences. AND I DON'T REALIZE IT.
Untill someone points it out, of course.
And then when I stay up at night studying Polish and Russian, you can hear me mistaken L's for the weird Polish L thinger, so I say "W" instead of "L", and I start saying "ye" instead of "eh" for E's.
So I say "wost" instead of "lost", or "Yelyephant." YELYEPHANT.
*gigglesnorts* Yelyephant...
I should really take a break from Polish and Russian to finish learning German, huh?
And then there's the R's. THE R'S.
I ROLL THEM. WITHOUT NOTICING.
NOT EVEN MY FRIENDS NOTICE. D:
I only know this because some guy in math asked me where I'm from because of the way I pronounced things.
And then there's my sentence structure. No one notices it, but my sentences are so off, I sound foreign in my own country. MY OWN COUNTRY.
You might not notice it too much, but I speak like Yoda from time to time without meaning to.
And I end my sentences funny. Like, on an adjective instead of a noun, or the other way around when it's improper. d:
And when I write, it really gets bad. You know how when you type, you can hit the wrong key and get "hot" instead of "hit" or something of the sort?
I DO THAT WHEN I WRITE. And when I write in caps, I find myself pressing the paper where the shift key should be.
And then there's my spelling issue. You know how there's alot of words with double letters, like "possible" or "passing"? I tend to do something like this: "poosible." "paasing." Or more rare: "posiible."
I DOUBLE THE WRONG LETTER. WHEN I WRITE, to make it worse.
Oh, and you know how I'm studying German? I like to pronounce German words like it's French. Like "Geradeaus". That's "geh-rah-deh-ows". I want to read it "geh-rah-doh" or something to that effect.
IT SUCKS.
TL;DR: The English language screwed me over. I wish I was born Polish or Russian. D:
