Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm trying to remember if my Swedish grandpa pronounced his Js. I think he did, but he did have the most appealing lilt to his voice. He always called his granddaughters "my little sweetheart," and he said it in such a beautiful voice, saying "sweetheart" like "sweethot."
He came over from Lulea when he was in his late teens and lived outside of the Swedish neighborhoods, so he lost most of the stereotypical Swede accent early on.
bonny, never Skyped, wish I could help.
Thanks Hon.
I'm just frustrated because it seemed like such an easy thing to use...and yet, fail.
dcp suggested google video chat. Which also looks easy, but may only work with gmail accounts. Ack.
Where is my flying car and the tech person to make it go?!
On topic, I believe my great grandparents came here from Ireland via England. While none of us have anything but California accents, I get a lot of comments about Anglo-isms in my vocabulary. I trace this back to my great aunt, who called me Pet, and spoke very proper English, with zero accent, despite spending most of her teens in Mississippi.
eta to add the salient point about accents.
bonny, I have skype, so if you want to play around without, you know, a client, I'm more than happy to help.
Also, does your camera have a microphone?
Do you have a Mac?
I almost posted that earlier, ita. I kinda think the paintings are pretty.
Erin, I'd love the help, really!
I have a Mac, and a separate, really good microphone, thanks to NDs recommendation a long time ago. My camera is an iSight.
My skype name is bonnyk-t.
k, i'm erin.griggs and I just requested your contact info.
Initializing contact...now!
Hee.
OMG SOMEONE STOP ME FROM SHOOTING MY BOSS AND ALL MY COLLEAGUES BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO DO ANY MORE FUCKING TRAVEL NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THEY SUCK AT THEIR JOBS AND HAVE PUSHED BACK OUR DEADLINE ANOTHER FUCKING WEEK OMG GODDAMNIT.
(please note, I cannot actually do any shooting because I (a) I do not own any firearms, and (b) I am not in the same state as any of my colleagues or bosses)
So you can see me but not hear, and can hear dcp but not see him.
That's a poser.
Dan is all "Huh. I don't know."
So I am lost as far as what is up, but I am more than happy to help you guinea pig!
