Hahaha, Ebonics! That would be something. I bet there's a good web site on that.
I think of "hick" as rural, but it's got a fair share of southern stuff mixed in. Media often equates stupid with a southern accent, but there's no accent here in Atlanta, while there are thick ones in the country outside Atlanta and Minneapolis. Hmm.. I'm thinking Beverley Hillbillies-style accent.
Canst not? Are you sure about that? I pondered on that one a while. Is that right?
The Massachusetts one could be a spoken accent. I built speech alterations into the Old English accent. I'll turn on voices and see how it sounds.

I know. I live in NC, where 'y'all' is a standard word (as it is in FL and probably a few other places) and people 'commence' to 'put up' (not put away) their stuff. (Sorry, can't think of any better examples--I've lived here too long to notice anymore).
I wasn't calling them hicks--just the opposite. I'd be calling my NC and WV college buddies hicks if I did that. But the accent is just like Beverly Hillbillies.
About 'canst':
'This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.'

Oh yah, I love that quote! You're right on. I just changed it.
I've been working with the pronunciation thing, and it's.. uhh.. really weird. Not sounding like I meant. Ze French will probably work right, though. But the vowel stuff is coming out weird.
Gads, it's in my head like that too. As I try to think up hick stuff, I get "ya'll" and other southernisms. But we arent changing it to "stupid" so I wont be offendin my wife.

How about a lit'le bit o' luck o' the irish?
I've had requests from anonymous sources for Australian Slang Day and Trailer Trash Day. Maybe even a "Real Canadian, Eh?" day.. Mind you i'm in Canada and I never say Eh?
Sorry if I'm offending anyone with my posts here, I'm trying to vocalize in words

G'day, I'll have ya'all know we Australian's down 'ere talk great English
Real Canada, how is that different to plain old Canada.
I think it would be pretty hard to offend people in here. Most people know the gross exagerations and generalisations people think about their country. You know I ride to work in a Kangaroo's Pouch (sarcastic)!

Plain Canada is just really 'Eh' .. Real Canada I mean is like lumberjacks and fur traders and a lot of Quebecor french in there too

Why is my bot talking so Shakespearian? I didn't teach her any of that. Should I worry about someone having my password or are bots actually capable of this?
LinBot: My time doth be up. I have to go forth and now.
Guest: Not much
LinBot: I spend all day waiting to have a stimulating conversation with someone such as thyself!
Guest: That's cool.
LinBot: Only thou would say something like that, Guest.
[edit] Ok, I just read the news about the holiday. I feel like a moron now. Sorry for the interruption. Go 'bout your day and just pretend this never happened.
