DwayneEMTP Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Yes you can turn off any accent with training, many actors/actresses and business professionals work to have their accent removed, especially those with thick southern accents, as the rest of the world stereo-types that accent with being less intelligent. It's not an accent, it's an affect. Completely different. Dwayne
DwayneEMTP Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 The term "gays" offends me.... Yeah, that the down side to your being a respected member here for so long...no one gives a shit if you're offended or not... Can we say 'respected member' in this thread? No offense intended... Dwayne

Chief1C Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 You missed the, nearly invisible on purpose, line under that.

Dwayne The term "gays" offends me. / / / / sarcasm<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I'm gonna dye my hair blonde, when it grows back, paint my nails black, wear black lipstick and black eye shadow and go emo, too, I think. Because that's what all the cool kids are doing; and I look really young.
Richard B the EMT Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Double entendre: "member". Going back on accents, no matter who one is, they usually end up speaking much like all the others in the area, or with whom they hang around with. Remember the "Dukes Of Hazzard"? They had an episode where there was a purportedly Chinese character, speaking in "Chinglish", or if you will, the stereotype "pigeon" English. That, in it's own right, was a bit offensive, but to have the "Chinglish" also done in a heavy stereotypical southern US accent?

When I was younger I spent a week in southern texas. I noticed after leaving I did have a slight southern accent. Remember the "Dukes Of Hazzard"? The Who of what?? Think I may have seen an orange car in a museum once!
