Supernatural is filmed across the US?

(OMG, we are so totally not the cool kids here. People just tolerate the four of us because some of the *higher ups* around here are fans.)

Not Miami! Not any more!

There seems to be a strange acceptance on British TV of some horrific American accents, or there's a school where you get your US visa, but I don't hear any British people over here doing *that* accent, even if their American accent isn't up to snuff.

This is just occurring to me now, but why the hell does "-pool" become "-pudlian" when you name an inhabitant. It's taken me mumblety mumble years to see Liverpudlian and Blackpudlian written in close proximity. Is Blackpudlian a mimicking of Liverpudlian construction, or are they both the same construct?

The "official" thing you're supposed to hear in many Caribbean accents is Scottish, I think, but a number of too-poor-for-England people jumped ship to the West Indies when the slave trade was abolished, in order too man the plantations. In Jamaica at least, the primary impact is a Scottish lilt, but I don't know if…

Don't let him touch your fanny before the wedding.

Okay, I posted it in the odeck. That way only people who know the nerd password will see it...

If I paid more attention to fruit not grown in Jamaica, facts like that would stick with me.

As someone who had both a religious education (Jamaica didn't take the bible out of every class then, and it still might not have) and one where science was in science class and religions were in Religious Studies, I don't think there's any reason the latter can't be perpetuated, and absolutely think it should.

I'm not gonna lie—RP was definitely the highest cachet accent I ever had. It was the typical accent of my UK high school, but my best friend for the first two years was the only Cockney in the year. So...I was 12! Of course I'm impressionable! It's what we do at 12. But I want to have a Jamaican accent, because it's…

I'm a lot better than I used to be about mimicking people nowadays, and I'm glad. I used to be all "No! That's one of my old accents!" but now I sound consistently like....whatever I sound like.

Is Bones on there? I understand it's just down the street from Where He Met Your Mother.

I'm gonna hold out and say the drunken pranking totally trumps the implants in just-fuck-offery.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this was all over my Tumblr dash with the caption WE WIN!!!! for a few days.

Except blue, right?

Or you could pull a Loki/Zeus and be the ultimate furry/otherkin. Gods have it good, man.

Some accents have standard transliterations. Annoyingly, there are at least three for Jamaica, and the most recent one I've seen is near unintelligible. And it's the one they're thinking of printing the Bible in.
