Answer my question with a question

[Sketchn]

Isn't tripe one of those foods that takes it's flavor from what it is cooked with?

I thought that was soy?

[Lord Clisto of York]

Was that a question?

[PurpleDragon]

Doesn't the concept of something being a question or not depend upon the inflection placed upon the words?

[DonaCatalina]

What if its more of an accent?

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

what words and what type of accent are we taking here?

[PurpleDragon]

Is it possible to determine accent or inflection in the written word?

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

Well mate, If I said guh'day tuh ya and all the Shellies out there, could you tell I was Australian and just being friendly to you and all the girls who read this?

[PurpleDragon]

Could you be telling where I was from if'n I be talking like this?

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

Yo, Hommi, Wuz up Dowg, It's not from the Ghetto is it now Holmes?

[captmarga]

Oh no, we're not going to do a whole thread in dialect, are we?

[DonaCatalina]

Wot ees thees d-eye-a-layct of wheech you speak?

[PurpleDragon]

I am unfamiliar with that particular dialect, could you perhaps educate me further that I might understand you better?

[captmarga]

Il est "un patois", comprendez-vous?

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

No I do not comprehend, does anyone else speak this dialect?

[Welsh Wench]

Would you believe that patois is a dialect that is not standard, encompassing pidgen, creole and other dialects? And a good example of this would be non-Parisian French which would be dialects such as Breton or Provencal? And that the Cajuns speak a dialect of Acadian French?

Comprendez-vous?
