Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner Presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump deliver remarks at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City.
I wonder if Bubba had a date tonight?
There's that condescending superiority complex again.
EVERY American has an accent; even the the ones who have had voice training or just naturally have NO accent at all, which IS an accent.
Yes, like normal American speech. From at least Ohio to California, except the South.
The "ones who talk funny" ? REALLY? Get over yourself. I bet that YOU have a truly WEIRD accent!
I have no accent...the broadcast style.
Just WHAT is a "NORMAL AMERICAN ACCENT"
The one used by the radio/TV broadcast industry.
and just WHO is the judge of that?
The broadcast industry.
...accents in Great Britain...
So what, that's the UK, try not to change the subject.
Trump has a HEAVY accent
He may have a scattered way of speaking, and uses sentence fragments, he has only a hint of NY accent.
you poked a finger in my eye
I did?
your badly flawed, grammatically incorrect writing, shows that you have had a rather pathetic education and/or are just very lazy.
Yeah right. There's that condescending superiority complex again.
I suggest that you get and read the Late Alistair Cook's "AMERICA"...I'm NOT going to bother to waste my time trying to explain it all to you.
Oh please, waste your time Your Majesty.
I suggest you read How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, since you obviously skipped a couple of courses in your fantastic superlative education.
I am teetotaler, don't and never have done any illicit substances, and AM your superior; in every imaginable way. Live with it!
Then you are a psychopath in a mental institution...(There's that condescending superiority complex again)
I talk like who I am, a well educated person, with a mish mash of an accent due to where I was born, who I was brought up by, where went to school and college, and where I spent school holiday, outside this country.
And you criticize my writing ability?!
a badly educated yokel, who imagines that he/she is something other/better than a poster whom you can't best, because you are a lout?
No, actually I'm a redneck out in the sticks of Maine, giving a little pushback to an overbearing self-important big-city dirthole who desperately deserves it.
ROTFLMAO
That right there tells me everything I need to know about you.
Don't hurt yourself "wolling" on the "floah"
See ya!
Cardinal Dolan just wiped his firehead with his napkin.
Must have seen a picture of Maria B. on his I-phone.

LMAO That’s good.
You format the size by doing this: img height=500 src=
Do a preview and if the size is off, put a larger number if you want it larger and a smaller number after the height=
Oh gee...yet more uneducated drivel from you! Give me a break! The Chicago accent, of which there are at least three different ones, not counting the ones that are racial different, certainly isn't an accent free accent! Then there is the Sarah Palin one, which so many found/find grating; though not I. There are many different accents from that rather large area you claim is "accent free"!
No accent IS an accent and one which most people have to learn, though not all.
That's like claiming that the old BBC ENGLISH is the "normal" accent of all of England, which it NEVER was.
Nope, the broadcast industry has NOTHING at all to support that claim! That no accent accent, in both England and America was used because they found that it was the one most people could understand easily.
YOU'D SAVE EXPOSING YOURSELF AS SO UNEDUCATED, BY NOT TALKING ABOUT TOPICS YOU KNOW LESS THAN NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT!
Oh babykins, but England has EVERYTHING to do re American accents and our English usage! Please reread the sentence above this part of my post. *snicker*
Accents have less than NOTHING whatsoever to do with speech patterns; do try to keep up. And Trump has a VERY heavy accent, which has no hint nor flavor of his 4 years at college in Pa., nor his years at his boarding school in a different part of N.Y. state.
Your projection complex and narcissism are extreme; seek help.
I have many friends, on line and in real life. I doubt that you have any. Is that why you are so insecure?
Wanna see a sociopath?
GO LOOK INTO THE NEAREST MIRROR, OR AREN'T YOU ALLOWED ANY SHINY THINGS IN THE MENTAL, WARD, YOU RESIDE IN?
A redneck is an uptick from what you are.
I live in exurbia; didums; fat lot you know. hahahaha
And inverted/backwards snobbery is as bad as the other kind. Game set and more than matched; you lose!
Run away, run away, run away.....pathetic nothing little loser.
Oh please tell me more about how stupid I am.
And where in the Midwest did you grow up in?
What Ivy League school taught you this incredible writing style? Could you please diagram your sentence there Einstein?...Complete with the stranded preposition.
>>Where de white women at?<<
So, what famous personality or character does your superior speech pattern resemble...Betty Grable, Blackbeard, Queen Elizabeth, Kathryn Hepburn, Betty Davis, Mrs. Naugatuck...Eliza Doolittle?
Toodles

nopards is having a gay old time tonight . . . I’ve seen worse behavior over at dummies underground.
Since you named actresses, who read, memorize, and then just repeat what others have written for them, a nonexistent character from a G.B. Shaw play ( so she never "SOUNDED" like anything, until some actress said her lines ), a long dead pirate, for whom there is no voice recording, a either long dead British Queen, or a current 90 year old one, whose accent has changed over the many decades she has been alive, and a name I don't recognize, I suggest that you try again.
But FYI...Hepburn's upper Middle Class Ct. accent, overlaid by the stilted Main Line Pa. one she absorbed whilst at college and which is quite like what is known/recognized as LONG ISLAND LOCKJAW, no longer exists and hasn't for many decades.
Now Davis, OTOH, Had a Mass. accent of an Upper Middle Class, boarding school type. Though her family wasn't Upper Middle class, she DID indeed go to boarding school; two different ones,in fact. OTOH, she was good at learning different accents for different roles.
What Queen Elizabeth I sounded like, one can only make a stab at, re inflection and pronunciations; not how she actually sounded.
Now Queen Elizabeth II is a horse of a different color, since we have recordings of her from every period of her adulthood. You will notice that when young, she had the somewhat antiquated intonations and inflections of the Royal Family's Edwardian English. Then, later, when she was trying to make the Royal family more accessible, through film and T.V. to the general public, the accent softens somewhat, with less clipped formal speech and a somewhat more rounded, less Royal, more modern tone.
Eliza Doolittle was a character who was a Cockney. Now Cockneys all come from a certain area in London, are of Irish ancestry, and they all have a very distinct tone, swallowed Ls, inflection, and speech pattern. Though that accent is far less distinct today, Michael Caine never really lost his accent at all.
I hate diagramming sentences. YUCK. :-)
OTOH, I know grammar better than you do AND love "BLAZING SADDLES", so do know that line you wanted me to diagram.
See? you really aren't clever at all...you're just pathetic.
Of course you've seen much worse over at DU; that's a cesspool!
Amazing how it was a secret until the late 1980’s. Amazing.
Down there [basement/sub-basements] are the kitchens, in long rows, that seem to stretch for miles. [I know now, NYers don’t do *miles*, they say blocks]
To make a long story short, Arno saw my modest hydroponic herbs growing in my kitchen. He was so interested, he had a set-up built in one of the corridors at the Waldorf kitchens. It was quite impressive.
Watching Trump and Hillary whisked away, I wondered if they left through the Peacock Alley. Good memories.
Yes, blocks...20 to a mile. :-)
WOW...an hydroponic herb garden in the bowels of the Waldorf? Now that is some story! How did he come to see your hydroponic herb garden ?
I've always loved the Waldorf; it was quite near where I worked, when we lived in Manhattan and after we had moved to Chicago, we always stayed in The Towers!
Ahhhhhhhhh...Peacock Alley! :-)
I’ll bet the GOP gave her more.
He was doing a promotion with us at the farm store; fortunately, the house was big enough to have house guests on weekends. We met at the Fancy Food Show, held every other year, in NYC.
Oh, I see; wow, what an experience!
I grew up in Carteret. I left 35 years ago. I have lived in the south or overseas for 22 years. When I hear myself speak, I have a weird accent. Otherwise, when I was a kid, I could pick out a New Yorker in a heartbeat.
Your post says it best and says it all!!!!!!!!!!!
I too cringed a bit when Trump was shaming her.......
.
I take back every cringe......This evil woman who fully supports abortion even to the full nine months...
...is standing proud and getting whistles and applause at a Catholic dinner for charity......a charity to help ....children, am I right.
The hypocrisy!
Trump is showing how he really has changed.......how solid and not compromising......this man is real!
Your post shamed me.....I needed shaming
Bump your post
