Blackleaf..try changing the word accent for dialect.And onyways whae are ye tae tell me how i should be spellin`.
Batter in an wricht awa in yer "Lancashire accent",i for yin wid applaud ye.It`d probably mak mair sense than the gash ye`ve been posting up tae noo onyway.  |
Or better yet, 'language'. given Scots is a language in itself I see no problem in Wolf using it.
In fact, I'd like to encourage it on this board - certainly brings a bit of character to the posts.
If only there were more like ye Wolf.... 
and Blackleaf, gonnae no' type in yer Lancastrian accent? I'd think it highly doubtful that people on this particular board would understand you, plus it'll remind me of my ex-flatmate who was a right tight b****rd!

Is it Lallans or Scottish-English? I think the former, since I can more or less make out what you type...

It all starts again tomorrow.
How confident are you of getting a draw Blackleaf?
I think Flintoff has done pretty well as captain, but the batting has let the side down big time. |

Well, a fantastic start for England today. Dravid may live to regret putting England into bat. Wonder if Engalnd get up to 450+ will they declare? Considering they need a win to draw the series I think it would be in their best interests to do so.
Bell must be skating on thin ice. If it wasn't for his brilliant fielding I think he would be out of the squad faster than you could say "Test Match Hundred"! In many ways he reminds me of Graeme Hick. |

It's neither. It's Englis, but spelt wrong.
All these Scots do is write in English but the way that they pronounce the words, and then tell everyone that it's a language. But ANYONE can do that. I could easily write in the way I pronounce words in my accent and then tell you that it's a language.
I've noticed, too, that hardly any two Scots, who claim to write in a language called "Scots" hardly ever spell some of the words in the same way. |

England won the Third Test against India, and the Series is now level at 1-1 with a game tied.
1st innings
England - 400
India - 279
2nd innings
England - 191
India - 100
England win by 212 runs.

Aussies told to mind their language
By STEPHEN HULL, Metro
23rd March 2006
It's as much a tradition of the game as whites, the thwack of leather on willow and curled-up cucumber sandwiches for tea.
But now Australian cricket fans face being banned from using their time-honoured taunt - calling the English 'pommy b******s'.
They face being ejected if they sledge the England team during the Ashes tour later this year.
The crackdown by the game's ruling body Down Under, Cricket Australia, came after South African players complained about racist taunts.
"This is the first complaint by a cricketing nation and it must be taken seriously,' said CA chief James Sutherland.
Asked about Australian fans insulting England players he added: "If the English cricket team regards that as racist is more to the point and we need to be sensitive to it."
Sutherland spoke out after the International Cricket Council reported on the abuse directed at South African players during their tour of Australia last year.
