I have to go to the hospital later. The sun is going to kill me. And my ears hurts.
This thread is going to be my saviour, I think.
Big heatwave there I've heard? You have my sympathies. Here we're enjoying a little reprieve from the heat, and the sun. It feels great here for this time of year.
Theres this troll on netweather called mushymanrob who is really irritating. He used to moan about colder than average crap in summer and now he's saying how great the outlook is (with a dumb post saying "dryer than average HORRAH HORRAH like 100 times"). despite the fact that this could be the coldest first half of June for decades, going by latest model charts. Make up your mind! Several days struggling to get into double figures next week. Cold and dry weather belongs in March not June. 13 degrees even if sunny is crap in June.
33C in Paris right now.. here it has been thundering and raining all morning, only now is the sun coming out and it is a wooping 22C, below the latest forecast and 10C below our forecast last week Dew point in the low 60s though.
On netweather everyone has been bawling about how disappointing the storms were. Maybe they were very localised. On blitxortung looks like there were only very sporadic strikes in London.
I didn't say otherwise. Nevertheless, dialect varies by race just as it does by geography. For instance, black speech in, say, Philadelphia has more in common with black speech elsewhere in the U.S. than the (white) Philadelphia dialect. A few things in black Philadelphia speech are still locally-influenced. However, it cannot be considered the same dialect at all.
Many blacks in NYC have a NYC tinged accent. Here's a previous mayoral candidate whose accent is a typical NYC accent, though there might be a bit of an influence of a black accent. He grew up in a mostly black neighborhood, too: Bed-Stuy.
But obviously, depending on your background, you speak in a different way. I know both because I've been exposed to both "standards" of the English Language. I feel like a different dialect will be born depending on where you were raised, and not all "Ebonics" is the same. A dude raised in Miami and a dude raised in NYC will obviously speak in a different manner.
There was someone who posted his accent on another thread. Most said "very thick NYC", I mostly noticed how it didn't sound like your typical white NYC accent; I thought "hispanic" and didn't even pick up on the NYC part.
