bifftastic Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 This is a good place to start. Where is my free word for today? Ok, your free word for today is 'owt' = anything http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/owt Thanks. We will go with that. I'll tear up this worthless contract I have from jubby and enter into a new one with you. OK up to you, but you may want to check the small print on jubby's contract, I think it mentions something to do with his in-laws and 'massage' My contracts include a monthly stipend, visa runs and a work permit Biff, you're fired. And I'll be expecting a FULL refund. Anyone else out there offering "free" translation services at one word a day? C'mon people. Don't make me buy a Rottweiler. Awright awright me old china, you're in a right two and eight now ay? you're avin a bubble if you think you're doin a crafty one son, Tell you what, i'll bell your dog and let you know what the apple is before it comes on top. A monkey should cover it. Kushty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 So now when I hear those from the other side of the pond speaking disparagingly about American English, I will bask in the knowledge that they don't even understand what those in the neighboring county are saying, without a translation service.

Yeah but we can spell ENGLISH. ie! colour over the pond color ?. We all notice that your bunch spells lots of words wrong. Color certainly isn't the only one. But we usually politely let it pass. However, if any of you cross-ponders need translations, let me know. Free service, though maybe not always timely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if any of you cross-ponders need translations, let me know. Free service, though maybe not always timely. The missus took some english classes a couple of years ago with a Thai lady (teacher) who had spent 8years over the pond,(100baht an hr) not bad but it totally confused us both i was having to correct her spelling all the time,anyway she did 10 sessions and we fell out quite a bit over her spelling,i went to speak to the teacher and she said this is how SHE was taught and that's how she was teaching her pupils,needless to say the missus never went back. I bought a talking dictionary at (Tesco) Mea Sai Thai/English (1,900baht),her English has improved a lot as im sure you can verify Kd,just thought this might be a good tip before making the same mistake as me.

I suspect if the teacher was teaching the spelling differently from the way you know, she was doing it right. So sorry to hear that your misses gave up on an improved learning session and fell back into the bad habits you have shared with her. But yes, your misses does speak English very nicely.

scorpio1945 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Point of curiosity. Do the non yanks have as much trouble understanding me with my "southern" accent as I do with some of them, particularily when they are holding court.

Indeed,, at my school there was a class in 'bumpkin' but no-one could understand the teacher. As for being disparaging, it's a national sport, one that we might win something at!

Its a little bit further south than Woralak's birthplace and the accent is slightly different. I think its Hilarious. Interested to know what you yanks think of it.
