  Who Are You?

  i have made repeated attempts to move on with my life despite your decision to plague my every thought and move.

  i cannot move forward.

  a change of venue, that of diet, even new clothes have afforded me a frivolous and temporary elevation of spirits.

  Languages, Dialects, Accents

  just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

  first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

  red, arrow, break.

  Did you learn how to debate in school (or elsewhere)?

  last night i was taking another look at the term "dialectics":.

  the art of investigating or discussing the truth of opinions: discussion; debate; logical reasoning; etc.. the dialectical method is, at base, a discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject but wishing to establish the truth through reasoned arguments.. while i intend to do further research on my own, what is your own experience regarding preparation for debate, the do's and don'ts, maintaining your cool, .

  i ask, in part, because i observe that some online debaters present facts and figures and use sound reasoning while maintaining their decorum; many do not.. thank you..

  I remember learning the rudiments of debating, but we were out of school so much (sharecropping) that I never got to participate in an actual debate.

  One thing I DO recall is that the instructor was a stickler for good manners and proper decorum.

  I had to Google both digital and Blip Billboards.

  Deep in the Heart of Dixie, you know.

  If I could afford it, I would give it a shot.

  I would use the billboard to troll WT and politicians.
