Ok I catch myself doing this and suddenly wondered if it was a #Midwestern or (because Kansas is NOT Ohio) #GreatPlains thing…?
So there's "look at him" -
which is "look at him, the male"And there's "look at 'im" -
which can be "look at the little critter whose gender I don't know bit he's Just A Little Guy (but gender neutral; I feel like "Little Guy" is an archetype)" BUT ALSO can really be fudged with the "regional accent" to sound like "look at 'em" as in THEM and I don't know if I "invented" that?? Or if it's genuinely regional and Kansans are more progressive than they realize in the way they speak… 😅 I've never noticed anyone else doing this.Thoughts, gang?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116845783092318691
Leave it to a Brit director to plunge Ancient Greece into a sea of American accents. Hell, even Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson are hissing at each other like Yanks. What gives‽
I expect my stage & screen ancients to have crisp, Oxbridge diction, not mumbling like Robert Mitchum.
Hit those consonants hard, thespians!

My partner and I went to dinner with friends last night and they asked him about where they put the vehicles repaired and waiting for repair at the garage he works for. Thus commenced a response about cahs, yahds, pahkin and garahges. Boston is losing its accent but not with this guy. I deserve an extra cocktail for controlling my laughter. #Bawstin #accents

I have a question specifically for people from the British Isles. What do you think about the final "t" in the word "restaurant" being silent or audible?
A — must be silent; that's just the way it's pronounced correctly
B — silent is posh, audible is normal
C — silent is British, audible is non-British (North American, for example)
D — something else (please add comment to elaborate)Boosts appreciated!

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on #regionalisms, #accents and #dialects they absorbed where they were during their formative years speaking. Got into specifics of how placements and vowels can shift. Good to hear them do text various ways shifting between things.
