I see your point. And yes we do have some sort of accent, unless we sound like robots lol. But yeah, that was the gist of what I was saying, I just wanted dude to be himself, nothing more. Sad thing is, at his core, he was a cool dude. He didn't need all that. My pet peeve is spelling, and yet, I still frequent the boards

No hard feelings there, I definitely agree with the spelling thing. Yeah, there's definitely a difference between speaking in a certain way naturally and just sounding forced. When it comes to english I switch up my vocab and tone pretty often depending on who I'm talking to and the situation, but not enough where it's like I'm trying to blend in and I don't try to sound like a fob from a different country, I just like the diversity and variations that are to be had with different people and cultures. And flipping the meaning of words and phrases is just fun. I'm a dork like that.
