    tbh, I abhor eubonics, mostly because when I lived in Cali I couldn't understand half the people in my apartment complex. Eventually it got to the point, where I just asked them to enunciate when speaking to me. Hilarious as it was, most people who speak eubonics can also talk like they're normal human beings.

    Thanks everyone for your ideas, it was very helpful, I managed to get the maximum grade for my presentation.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Exactly, further proving it's just a dialect. Romans might say they abhor Sicilian, when if they had someone there who spoke Sicilian, it wouldn't be so bad. If someone was there who could have taught you what they were saying, maybe it wouldnt be so bad!
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.
