I guess "us stoopid Amurrikans" aren't the only people endowed with great powers of assumption and stereotyping.

And I thought I was arrogant.

It's thee kind ov stuff people only tend to do with cool (ie pop-culture or otherwise romanticized) laguages. I mean, who writes out their German accent, their Engrish, or who writes in ebonics other than jokingly? Not that many. Why? Because you make an ass ov yourself that way rather than seeming fuckable because you just stepped out ov Trainspotting or what have you. I mean really, if you're so ethnic just write in a different language altogether and spare people thee trouble.

And yes, I realize this entry is not written in correct English. It's not written in correctly accented English either though, and it's not a tribute to thee ever so special place where I was born.

Don't feel too bad, Blu: He's Irish. "Law degree" or no, if he chooses to type that way he's likely just another ignorant drunk like so many others from the UK.

And if he's got a complaint, I'm fucking British. If anyone speaks English "properly," according to him, it would be me. So, by his logic, he should be taking my word as gospel based solely on where I learned my diction.

He needs to stop speaking like one of the Broon family and passing it off as Irish, even though I know the book originates from Scotland. He uses every abbreviation in those books, and it makes him look like a retard. There are plenty of Irish people who know exactly how to speak and type proper English, and do so because they don't wish to feed the stereotypes apparently made by the "big, bad Americans."

Oh yeah, and before some posse decides to flame me or tell me something (anything) about what a great guy this person really is and whatnot let me say that I have never read his journal, (probably) don't know him at all, and don't really give a damn if he is thee warm apple pie ov online journalling or what. My posts are to be taken as general comments/observations, not some sly way for me to call this guy a pompous motherfucker or something.
