[16:16] Hello, people. [16:26] good afternoon Espreon [16:27] Why thank you. [16:27] How have you been, brobostigon? [16:27] good bits and bad. and you? [16:27] Fairly well I've been [16:27] Three As and a C- this semester. [16:28] ... well... the one I just finished. [16:28] thats pretty good. [16:28] Heh heh. [16:28] Some may argue it's not 'cause of the C-. [16:28] a c still aint bad, it could be worse. [16:29] Well, I think C-s are not transferrable. [16:29] Not that I plan on transferring. [16:29] ok. [16:30] It was in a "schupid" class anyway. [16:30] So... I'm happy I passed. [16:30] :) [16:32] I also made some wassail. [16:33] ... a couple of days ago. [16:33] what is it ? [16:34] An English drink. It's basically warm, spiced apple cider. [16:35] Though I added blackberries this time. [16:35] ah. [16:35] never heard of it, and i am english [16:36] Really? You never heard of it? Hmm. [16:38] nope. never, [16:38] Guess traditions are a-dying. [16:38] where in england is it from? [16:38] I have no idea. [16:39] I believe it's of Germanic origin. [16:39] because i am from lincolnshire. [16:39] and they dont really produce apples up there. [16:39] Southern England, according to Wikipedia. [16:40] there you go, [16:40] You should make some; it's good. [16:41] i wouldnt, cider makes me very ill. [16:41] Awwww... :( [16:42] tried it once, and wont ever again. [16:42] i was ill for hours after. [16:46] That bad, eh? That's unfortunate. [16:47] I drink cider a lot. [16:47] ... so I think (or... thought) only good things about it. [16:47] yes, that bad. [16:47] ah, ohwell. [16:54] Bad cider, stop being mean to brobostigon. [16:54] And sadly, I'm not a magick faerie. [16:54] Espreon: i was with my dad, who likes cider, and he said it was good cider. [16:54] If I were, I'd change that C- into an A. [16:55] Huh. [16:55] Oh well. :( [16:55] yep :( [16:58] Do you like blackberries, brobostigon? [16:58] Or do they not like you? [16:58] sometimes, yes. [16:58] Only sometimes? [16:58] liking them. [16:59] I always like them and they always like me. [16:59] ... ... I kinda binge eat them. [16:59] ok [16:59] ... yeah. [16:59] lol [17:00] Berries... I love them.. [17:01] :) [17:01] I wish I had some tiramisù right now. [17:01] Do you like tiramisù, brobostigon? [17:02] i cant, i am allergic to dairy. [17:02] Oh, that's right. [17:02] brobostigon: What is your opinion of those who use the deep, broad a in words like "bath"? [17:02] i wouldnt mind the alcohol in it though, :) [17:02] Heh heh. [17:03] Espreon: i have no opinion, it is just different pronounciation. [17:03] All right. [17:03] Do you speak of tahcos or tackos? [17:04] as in takos ? [17:04] No, as in the Mexican dish. [17:04] the latter. [17:05] Do "foot" and "strut" rhyme for you? [17:06] abit. [17:06] Is there a "real" g at the end of "sing" for you? [17:07] yes. [17:07] And you do not say your "r"s like zee Frensh, yes? [17:08] not really sure, never thought about it. [17:08] I know I don't. [17:08] I either curl my tongue back or say them like a Scotsman. [17:08] ... when I feel like it. [17:08] ok. [17:09] OK, now you may ask me a million questions about how I say things too. [17:09] i dont have any, to be honest, [17:09] How come? [17:09] i cant think of any. [17:10] I'll throw some things out there: taco is "tahco" ... wasp is "wahsp" ... ... ... and bath is not "bahth". [17:11] bath is short for me, tacos as in a short a again. foor and strut don't rhyme and I can't tell if there's a g on the end of sing or not [17:11] afternoonings ianto [17:11] Hello, ianto. [17:11] wasp is the same vowel as "hot" to me too ;) [17:12] shwmae pawb [17:12] This one's hot is "haht". [17:13] A dog is a "dahg"... ... what else...? [17:13] But an orange is not an "ahrange". [17:13] OK hot as in the same sound as the o in orange [17:14] Though the o in mine is probably not yours. [17:14] We don't have that sound. [17:14] ... the people in Boston do, though. [17:15] Keep in mind that a writer is not rider to this one. [17:15] It may be to some people in this country, but I don't know any of these people. [17:15] They're probably in that weird place called California. [17:17] And I guess the two of you have no idea why the two would sound the same. Am I right? [17:19] Espreon: http://users.aber.ac.uk/crs14/wasp.wma [17:19] That's my way of saying it ;) [17:20] So I hear. [17:25] ianto: Hey, did you ever get back to translating Wesnoth or did you run into annoying problems and decide to stop? [17:53] Espreon: Sorry I've been quite preoccupied [17:53] Ah, it's OK.
