The Great Britain Only Thread

I do, actually. It makes me cringe when a British person writes "you should of seen" instead of "you should have seen". But I do take your point that it was the person about whose work you were commenting, not you, who was marketing a professional writing service, and I do agree that you're fully entitled to be dissatisfied with what you bought. On the other hand, my own feeling, as a writer, is that the fairly widespread rates of pay for knocking out "articles" in the context of website promotion is so appalling that it doesn't really surprise me too much when the overall standard is only semi-literate.

 

I intended it facetiously, not nastily, Jon. Sorry if it came across that way.

 

There are so many differnt type of british accents, just like in america, my accent just sounds like pure english lol no slag or anything, I only talk slang when I wanna act cool. init brapp brapp

 

Can people from the Commonwealth make guest appearances in this thread?

 

WTF?

What is pure english? you dont sound like you were born in the UK.

 

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Brap Brap

Or used to big up something/someone.

 

If you are english you will understand what that kind of slang means

 

It's what the youth in G.B uses, not what the common person walking down the street uses. So, don't expect everyone to know what 'brappp' is.

 

cool im from the uk too ! good to see a thread for us by us.

 

Im english and never heard of it.

I must be old, ive never ever heard of this.

Do they hold gun signs while shouting it or something?

Is it a gangsta mofo thing?

Or is it a posh thing "ooh brap brap, look at you" while holding a limp wrist out front?

 

Most people use it when "biggin' up" something, and it is a "gangsta" kinda thing.

 

Im quite distant from that way of life.

 

Well if you were in high school in the last 3 years you would know about it because every would say it, me and my friends used to say it to the gangsta wannabes of my high school to wind them up.

we had no black kids in my school which made it even more funny to say it to the white kids trying to act gangsta. I'm not being racist I just dont believe in british white kids acting gansta because they don't have to live that lifestyle they chose it or get bullied into it.

 

I left school almost 17 years ago.

Yeah i agree about the wannabee gangstas

 

Oh my days... this thread is a shame.

 

Actually I'll rephrase that...this last page is a shame, was there any need to bring street slang into the GB only thread...honestly

 

Honestly are some of you locked in your houses in front of the screen all day and night, I'm pretty sure most of this snobbery is a front, is it because you "need" to feel important or professional in this atmosphere ? it's either that or you haven't lived enough to have a little common sense, get out there get a girlfriend and stop pulling your plonkers

In true in english style , " good day to you all " ...... what a load of tripe, *uck it lets get down the pub !
