Sometimes I say things like "rozzers" and "pissers" "wank" "s**te" and a few others. I also use the "I've" like britons do. Americans say "I don't have any." or "I don't have it." Brits say "I'vn't any" or "I've not got it."
I agree -- I just wouldn't feel right uttering any British slang.
Funny, I always thought the opposite. At least in written form. I read posts here and notice subtle differences in peoples replies as time goes on. Sometimes, the word used means something different than the "origins" meaning but for the most part it seems fairly unoffensive.
and Wilson, lets not get into an accent debate. There isn't anything more hilarious than a British one. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

. Damn, I wish I had a mic.On several occasions I have attempted to get a site wide accent recording. Every time, I am voted down but I still think its a wonderful idea.
What I wanted to do was have everyone vote on a sentence. It doesn't matter what it says except it should contain about 25 words in it and hopefully contain some colloquialisms that we each share in our everyday speech patterns.
After we decide the sentence is appropriate we each record ourselves saying it. then upload it someplace for each to download and hear our voices.
All in good humor of course.
jon, yer twisted...////runs
btw, glad ya made it back ok...
Doc B...

Let's do it! Seriously. I love accents. I think the sentence should be "My monitor is broken and my computer has a virus." I'd pronounce it like "wirus."
Not enough words Nick.
Besides, it would need to be about mapping/editing.
"My map has a leak and I cannot find the damned thing. The bloody thing must be hidden behind some vertex rocks. Arse it all."
Or some crazy s**t like that.
Just find a nice sentence, and make an "Accent Thread"
just make sure the sentence has a lot of the sounds that ppl pronounce differently like J W B H V X Y Those are all pronounced very differently in lots of different languages.
Not me. As I said, it fizzles out every time I try.
Get somebody "more liked" to do it. Maybe... Frenchy or Win98. 
<---Humor tag guys.
Seriously, it needs more thought. But I am game.
If Cassius didn't like you, he'd ignore you.
Cassius is definitely one of my favored SP members.
Believe me, it took a while, as he and I started off very much otherwise. It was worth the effort.
How about:
"If it weren't for Snarkpit, most map editing in my life would end. In spite of this being bloody British based site, most of us,Yanks included, feel welcome. The tutorial section needs a bit more incentive, not to mention the benefit of a decently written critique but overall its a friendly place to visit. Its really to bad that we drifted away from reviews. It was a noble beginning but, one we are proud of."
Well, something sentimental would be nice. Problem is, I am not sure exactly how to fit in the appropriate colloquialisms.. The sentence I wrote above, seems cheap and unworthy for an experiment of this type.
Someone of the UK persuasion needs to add some local color to the thought methinks.
Duncan.. The sentence isn't meant to make sense. We could get the same results with "Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow"
I was attempting to use mapping jargon with a bit of local speech mannerisms thrown in.
For all I care, we can stick to a nursery rhyme. It will make me happy no matter.
