Had he been from LA, he most likely would have used ebonics. What is your point?

Nevermind the spelling bit, what the hell was she trying to say?

MT - How did Bush use "brang"?

Brang is an accented bring.

Hmm.... not so bad....

I thought he mighta used "brang" in place of "brought" (ie "brang it with him").

Which I'm sure I've prolly done a few times also.

Reminds me of an article I read in this week's Atlantic magazine about Bush vs Kerry in a debate. Talked a whole bunch about Bush's speaking style.

What stood out was how completely floored the author was when he went back and watched an old tape of a debate with Ann Richards. Appearently it was like watching a completely different guy.

Bush's accent wasn't there, but more significantly Bush spoke eloquently and lucidly. He was so shocked he brought in some kind of personality analyst to watch the tape. This guy too couldn't believe what he was seeing.

All sorts of theories about the transformation followed.

Does someone need to explain to xrihateamercia what an accent is?

Lizking · « **Reply #25 on:** July 22, 2004, 07:30:04 PM »

It isn't in the dictionary because it is not a word or a contraction of a word, it is how Texans say bring.

Lizking · « **Reply #26 on:** July 22, 2004, 07:31:15 PM »

Just like oil=earl and son of a *****=sum*****. you get the idea now?

xrtoronto · « **Reply #27 on:** July 22, 2004, 07:33:23 PM »

ya I get it!

Nash · « **Reply #28 on:** July 22, 2004, 07:34:18 PM »

I always thought of "accent" as the sound of a proper word.

New and different words... what would that be.... dialect?
