We all know that there are many different accents in the UK. I can recognise some local accents, such as Liverpool and Yorkshire. I understand that accents vary from geographical areas to generations. People can tell that someone is well-educated by the way one speaks (terminology). Yet, much more than that, it seems to me that most British can instantly tell someone's social background when they hear s/he speaks. Why is that? One time I met two people who have different accents, but my friend said they both went to public schools (well I'm aware that going to public schools doesn't necessary mean one is from upper class...http://www.englishforums.com/English/StathamVideoBritishSpeech/jhzpv/post.htm#787908Sat, 20 Jun 2009 19:18:24 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:787908fandorinHere comes Tim!

The police were concerned with public order and safety, not the hateful, stupid content of what the man was saying. I would be happy to live in a city where free speech is allowed and protected. On the other hand, you can't just say anything. During the Danish Cartoons row, police filmed and prosecuted a man who wore a pretend suicide belt, and another who carried a sign, 'Behead those who insult Islam,' to name a couple.

Well I don't think it's quite there yet, but this demo is very close. Actually, reviewing it, I suspect this motion capture tied to the best texturing and lighting composited expertly into a natural scene would fool many. You see, I think that this exactly illustrates the point because it's precisely demonstrates the "close but no cigar" aspect of this technology. It just flat out doesn't look "real" and when that CGI girl smiles and shows her perfect peg-like teeth, or scowls and shows the not- quite real interior of her mouth and the illusion degrades just that little bit more for me, at least,...http://www.englishforums.com/English/BestDocumentaryYearAlready/2/jmjxv/Post.htm#813888Sun, 30 Mar 2008 10:19:46 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:813888jackson pillockHmm, you're right about Dawinism. It is dangerous. Mind you, ... able to kill babies as much as they'd like to. If, as you claim (and I don't plan on getting into a fifteen trillion message over this again)Darwinism was on ... the audacity to publish something that countered Darwinism in a scientific magazine. Is freedom of speech that scary to Darwinists? I think evolution is poorly understood. Here is what it claims, and what it can show: 'Life results from the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators.' That's a little harder to take on board than, 'the earth is a sphere.'
