XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Still opens for me.Sep 22 01:21
*XRevan86 was puzzled by schestowitz's accent (mentioned it before), now knows of a Lancashire dialect and it all makes sense now.Sep 22 01:24
XRevan86Which covers ManchesterSep 22 01:25
XRevan86England is so diverse on accents it's even hard to grasp the general ideaSep 22 01:30
XRevan86Interesting that Wikipedia states that the variety prevalent in Manchester itself uses -iŋk for -ing, but a persistent pattern I hear is the exact opposite: thiŋ (like thing) for thinkSep 22 01:43
DaemonFC[m]No, it was a South Park reference.Sep 22 01:45
XRevan86Anyway, my comparison points not to "southern North Midland", but to "west Northern"Sep 22 01:46

schestowitzpleroma.site online but in broken stateSep 22 01:56
XRevan86schestowitz: Sometimes you say "patent", sometimes "parents". Is that a common sound shift?Sep 22 01:57
*XRevan86 walks on thin ice making people self-conscious.Sep 22 01:58
*MinceR used to use the ThinIce theme engineSep 22 01:59

XRevan86Except the Southern ones (Kubañ), and very Northern ones.Sep 22 02:06
XRevan86and the old-fashioned Moscow oneSep 22 02:06
XRevan86apparently there are many varieties around timbre, so to speak, but I don't pick up on thatSep 22 02:09

XRevan86maybe the word I'm looking for is rhythmSep 22 02:19
smnthermes> Software patents are a relatively new and anomalous segment of the patent system.  Sep 22 02:20
smnthermes> Roy Schestowitz is either a paid hack, financed by those who would like to neuter patent law and relegate the patent system to a rich man's/corporate privilege (those with the most powerful lawyers win); or, he is just incredibly ignorant of the patent system, both in its history and in its judiciary basis.Sep 22 02:20

schestowitzthe pronunciation varies, some say PA-tents, some say Pay-tentsSep 22 02:22
XRevan86schestowitz: 6:24Sep 22 02:33
XRevan86schestowitz: I don't point to a vowel, I point to the first "t".Sep 22 02:36
XRevan86"t" is a weird pear in English, but I've never heard it shift to a rhotic.Sep 22 02:39
XRevan86Although the alveolar tap Americans often use is also a rhotic.Sep 22 02:46
XRevan86In words like "water" and "butter".Sep 22 02:48

schestowitzCOMP. YOU. teehhhr...Sep 22 02:53
XRevan86schestowitz: That's called "glottal stop"Sep 22 02:53
schestowitzthe former pronunciation can be a bit funny unless you're used to itSep 22 02:54
schestowitzThe intonation on the "AH" in particularSep 22 02:54
schestowitz"ter becomes "AH" on "OH"Sep 22 02:54

schestowitzI like dialects as they tell you a lot about people's backgroundSep 22 03:06
schestowitzlike in the US you can tell people's ethnicity sometimes based on dialect and slangSep 22 03:06
XRevan86schestowitz: I used original Latin meanings of the vowel lettersSep 22 03:06
schestowitzin the UK it says something about class and place of birthSep 22 03:07
schestowitzmore than it does about ethnicitySep 22 03:07

schestowitzthe howling hyena inside and outside gnu might take what he says out of context to push some more for ostracising himSep 22 03:13
XRevan86schestowitz: Yes, accents can't tell much about what a person is about, unless they're very average.Sep 22 03:15
schestowitzsame for clothingSep 22 03:20
schestowitzI fancy that analogy although clothes are a choice, partlyuSep 22 03:20

schestowitzI changed mine around age 17Sep 22 03:21

XRevan86My interest is more in the area of understanding the language better, both in a sense of linguistics and in a sense of what the heck one person or another is even saying. Because not everyone speaks average English, so boundaries have to be explored and tested.Sep 22 03:21
schestowitzWith Trump being the face of US/American English, I can revert backSep 22 03:21
schestowitzI have an Iranian friend who fakes her accent to sound BritishSep 22 03:22

*mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)Sep 22 03:23
schestowitzThe Internet helped make English universalSep 22 03:23
schestowitzmore so than British Empire didSep 22 03:23
schestowitzeven many in China and India now speak English, out of needSep 22 03:24
schestowitzSpanish is still big, esp. in terms of nations who speak itSep 22 03:24
XRevan86schestowitz: Yes, that is the case. And I'm pretty sure it will last that long.Sep 22 03:24
schestowitznumber of people, Portuguese, Tamil langs and Mandarin are also bigSep 22 03:24
schestowitzFrench not as bigSep 22 03:24
schestowitzso hard to see or envision what can replace English as 'universal'Sep 22 03:25

schestowitzGreece's population is shrinkingSep 22 03:26
XRevan86It's losing its status as a lingua franca and English takes its place.Sep 22 03:26
schestowitzmany people seem to have fled if they could after the financial collapseSep 22 03:26
XRevan86Spanish and Chinese are the closest it seems.Sep 22 03:27
schestowitzwhich Chinese though?Sep 22 03:27
schestowitzCantonese  is  not the sameSep 22 03:27
XRevan86PutunhuaSep 22 03:28
schestowitzand Taiwan has its own, too, with overlapsSep 22 03:28
XRevan86schestowitz: Apparently Taiwan has a very similar standard, which is surprising considering how diverse Chinese languages get.Sep 22 03:29
XRevan86So the dialect of Beijing.Sep 22 03:30
schestowitzI don't know how to sense the differencesSep 22 03:34
schestowitzI can differentiate dialects in other languages if I know some of their words and accents, but not China Sep 22 03:35
schestowitz"they all sound the same to me..."Sep 22 03:35
XRevan86Oh, Beijing was the capital back then as well, that explains it. The Han colonised Taiwan and forced Putunghua on everyone, hence why it's the same dialect there as in Beijing.Sep 22 03:37
schestowitzdoes not seem like pleroma.site will be fixed by morning time (France time, it's based there)Sep 22 03:43
schestowitzseems like an internal breakage, not mere downtimes (on/off switch)Sep 22 03:43
XRevan86schestowitz: I don't know Chinese one bit, so I won't tell dialects apart either way. However, I bet non-tonal accents sound differently. I pretty much tell Chinese by the tonality.Sep 22 03:44
schestowitzmaybeSep 22 03:44
schestowitzI noticed differencesSep 22 03:44

*_inky has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)Sep 22 03:45
schestowitzIIRC, Taiwan inhabitants immigrated to separate from China for some political reason, so they're in effect Chinese in origin and have commonality in rootsSep 22 03:45
schestowitzmaybe they're coming from Beijing's provinceSep 22 03:45

DaemonFC[m]I hate the DMV. I hate USCIS. When you're dealing with immigration stuff, the DMV wants to see  stuff from USCIS, and USCIS wants to see stuff from the DMV.Sep 22 19:52

DaemonFC[m]Has anyone voting for him ever been to a DMV?Sep 22 19:54
sebsebsebschestowitz: that things hace come to this its awfulSep 22 19:54
DaemonFC[m]I might vote for the Republican for that office next time. Indiana's DMV used to be horrible, with long lines and shit.Sep 22 19:55
schestowitzsebsebseb: well overdue based on what we see here this month. People dine and drink without any protection, with lots of different households on same table, as if covid19 just vanished already Sep 22 19:55
DaemonFC[m]Then they moved a lot of it online and foot traffic at the DMV offices actually fell so much that they managed to close a lot of them, and then the budget went down even though if you did go in, it was never more than 5-10 minutes. Everyone there is so nice too.Sep 22 19:56
sebsebsebschestowitz: well yep pubs and resturants are a bit of a risk Sep 22 19:56
DaemonFC[m]There's none of this "Oh I'll make up my own rules to make you drive all over town all day because we take a copy of a renter's insurance policy but not the statement from the motel!".Sep 22 19:56
