    Well, considering sounding like a knacker has nothing to do with how one would type then I'm quite sure you don't see the stupidity of your post or I'm guessing you wouldn't have posted it.

    Now that's better, isn't it? I was able to make sense of that post without squinting at the screen. Well done.

    Most of us (i think) can tell the difference between the various accents
    Loads of accents in and from Dublin: heres a few,
    Innercity dub street accent - swhaaar
    Oul dub inner city accent - 5 for fifty
    D4/D6 - Ryosh
    Dublin transatlantic - OMG
    Suburban Dublin - Depends on the area but alot of strong of swhaar wannabes, but also quite a good amount of neutral accents (just irish sounding)

    I've heard some "yung fellas" shooting the breeze recently and I swear to god, I couldn't understand a single thing they were saying, it was fast, but deffo Dub! But sounded like a different language all together!

    But we seem to be able to tell the difference from different regions in the UK and usually whereabouts in the USA by there accent! But they cannot hear the difference from our regions! It's just Irish!

    For me, my accent I'd call it neutral, but the lads i grew up with have stronger dub accents, though one of the lads sound like he's from Sligo but all born and bred in D-blanch! I dunno about where your from or who you hang about with, but your parents have a huge influence in how you speak, I was always being corrected for my Th's eg: dis and dat = This and That. And if I had any twang of a Howaya or swhaar, my parents would be quick to correct me!
    Unfortunately people judge you on your accent before getting to know you!



    sadly i have to agree, you have to have the nice polite manner with the nice south side accent ( minus the ryosh bull ) but then again, ive a pretty fierce tounge on myself, hough i could never understand why everyone bar me doesnt pronounce H's after the T... i.e thin = tin

    Rather retarded boys and girls.

    The only people I've ever heard who speak with no accent whatsoever (really, it's amazing!) are actors who play aliens in Star Trek.

    Squinting at the screen is a natural reaction to when text is too small, not when slang is used.

    Weird chap.

    Dubs are the majority though and we have the biggest/best city so you're always going to hate us. We hate you just as much though, and if you're going to go abroad PLEASE take some elocution lessons you're making it embarassing for all of us with those hideous accents.

    Biggest City? Yes.

    Best City? Absolutely not.

    It's riddled in polution. To many people. No scenery (except for an spike). Everyone is always in a rush. Accents are filth. Crime is high.

    I detest Dublin as a city. I'd much prefer Galway or Waterford over it anyday.

    No. We don't. I think it's better to be the bigger man and let them have a chip on their shoulder and a massive inferiority complex rather than to stoop to their level. Smug tolerance ftw.

    Tribalism, social retardation and the self-loathing that comes with the over-consumption of alcohol?

    Or perhaps even a collective fear of boards.ie moderators has driven everyone a bit mad.

    Or perhaps you overestimate the power that moderators on this site actually have.

    We all have to answer to the Admins at some stage and if we fúck up then we are banned.

    I hate the fake "D4" holier than thou type accents, I also hate the accents that are comparable to a clapped out moped. The real Dublin accents are pure class. I don't know how to describe it, but I hear it a lot around dun laoghaire and blackrock. I don't know how to explain it that well, sorry :P

    I think the decline of the old Dublin accent also has a direct correlation with the decline of any character the city once had. My accent would be regarded as a reasonably common dublin accent and i'm glad of it.

    For example,

    I'd tell me ma i'm goin to wurk.

    as opposed to the nouveau riche Dublin accent where

    I'd tell mam, i'm going to werk.

    I quite like different variations of the Irish accent no matter how strong, i like a lot of the country saying and expressions. I lived with a fella a couple of years ago from Donegal and thought it was gas how he'd say "wile" and "hi" at every hands turn.
