I a bought something on the net and to get it sent to the uk someone has to email you before and tell you how much it will be to send to the uk and you have to email him back and tell him it's ok so i email him back to tell him it's ok and seems the email didn't go so i done it again and that didn't seem to work and sent it another like 6 times and god knows how many of the same email he got but this time he replied just saying ok i will process this order and the last time he never so i would suspect he got all the emails i sent..

Rubbish blueyonder.

It's a pest that, i bet the guy thinks i ment to send them all.

Ah well well well.
I'll have to buy something from this company for the third time in 1 month since my stupid brother left it till a few minutes after i ordered the last thing to tell me he wanted something from there..

Right well this rubbish email never works well hardly works anyway and i needed to reply to this guy to tell him it was ok to charge me extra for shipping and since this email never works i had to keep on emailing him until it tells me it's sent cause before it was mucking up and not saying it was sent.

Sorry my English is a scottish version the first ever version infact.

It's not really that you're using the wrong words or anything. It's just that it is all one sentence, which makes it very hard to understand and read.

Haven't you read Joyce or Faulkner?

... the longest sentence in English literature was spoken by Molly Bloom, a character in Ulysses by James Joyce. This sentence is so long that in the original publication of the work, it extended for over forty pages, finally concluding with an affirmative "yes!" Incidentally, this edition, which was published by Sylvia Beach of Shakespeare & Co. fame, is believed to contain over five thousand typographical errors.

Ned, you are starting to grow on me. In fact, I can almost understand you now.

:emlaugh: I understand him .....

Something about blueyonder being rubbish ..... couldn't understand what he was on about ..... something about not being able to send emails to someone about something or other :confused:

To cut a long story short the web mail does not seem to work properly so i sent the email several times until i knew for sure it went and i reckon i sent all that i sent but didn't think got sent..

It's called dialectic speech. Ned writes the way he speaks, if you read it that way (I know a few of you have been to Edinburgh) it makes sense. His sense of humor is similar, I think some people have been offended because they read his posts, yank out little bits, and don't really understand what he is saying. Did I get that right Ned? http://www.da.wvu.edu/archives/000103/news/000103,01,01.html

Ned, don't ever change.
(well, a teensy bit of commas and periods now and again wouldn't hurt)
I like reading posts from people of other countries.
If it weren't for the internet, the only exposure to different dialects we would get would be from movies stars, and many of them are fake.

I a think your right Rotifer. For a start i say "i a" like everytime i talk or "I well" and i say "like" all teh time as well like everyone else from Edinburgh.
