I'm sure that's not how it's supposed to be spelt. It is awesome, either way. Oh I cannot wait for The Colbert Report tonight.

Also, jennem cannot say Colbert for the life of her. So I use my awesome icon of eye-popping glory.

I am trying not to headdesk as I am so freaking blocked with getting this story to a final draft. Also, I would like to know if there are any kindly, awesome and very, very generous British person who would be kind enough to make sure the Britspeak does not suck.

For I am worried it sucketh like whoa.

Work was CRAZY today. I had to email myself a reminder for something I totally forgot to do. D'Oh.

Well, I'm not British, but I'm Canadian from a British family, familiar with alot of Britspeak because I work with Brits. I can look it over if you'd like, at least for some of the more surface stuff.

When I get done with it, I'll send it to ya for a once over. My main issue is that the POV character of the fic, Rose, speaks very much London current slang (she's from a council estate) and I'm worried that I'm completely ruining her speech patterns.

[leelee-cakes.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm a crazy Who fan, so I know about Rose's random speech patterns. So yea, feel free to send it over if you want. I can't wait to read it, period :)

How can she not say "Colbert"? How hard is that?

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

Texas accent. She wasn't dropping the t properly. It sounded like COHL-behrt.

Rae gave me lessons on how to properly say it. Apparently my Texas roots were getting in the way at first.

As far as I'm concerned Jennem should mangled words with pride :) (God knows, I do)

So it's like that Simpsons episode where the French waiter and Mayor Quimby's obnoxious Kennedy-esque nephew argue over the pronounciation of "Chowder" (Chow-DAH and Chow-daire)

How hard can it be. Coal - Bear. Coal Bear.... Except watch out because bears are destroying america.

Awww, poor jennem. Wild guess, but is it the Texas speak getting in the way again?

And don't be blocked. I *need* that fic. Stef and I are relying on you!

*happy thoughts*

[regala-electra.livejournal.com]

Yes, Texas-speak. Woof. :-)

I am trying to work on it! I am trying, I swear!

SHUT UP! God. I will never live the "wolf" thing down. :)

Ya'll enjoy pointing it out far too much *clings to Texas-speak*

[jennem.livejournal.com]

"Mirror" is my big problem. [grin]

I can never say it "correctly".

[elrina753.livejournal.com]

As you've probably gleaned from Reg's taunting... whenever I say wolf it comes out woof.

Tee hee.
