Don't get me wrong...this is not about trashing other peoples dialects. Its about pronounciation of NORTHERN IRELAND.
On the net there is no accent as the words are typed and is it too much for people to type the words Northern Ireland or N.I. ( which is shorter that the dreaded **** ****):D.
it is a bit like text. Can't stand it when people send things like " R U !!! IN TO PRTY 2NITE?" OR " R U AND M8S GOIN 2 PUB?" :rotfl:
Enjoy your day and remember to hug a stranger and make their day.:cool:On a slow boat to China0 -
I believe txting is to use the fewest number of characters needed to get your message across..but hey if texting & (and) N.I. are your only problems then good luck 2 u !! (sorry to you):rotfl:It's a great day for singing a song / It's a great day for moving along / It's a great day for morning to night / It's a great day for everybody's plight.
Your father pedals car telephones at a 300 percent markup. Your mother works on heavy commission at a camera store. Graduated to it from espresso machines. Hah!0 -

Going to have a rant!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry if i offend but it is not intentional.....
Please, Please Please.................Can we all stop calling Northern Ireland ...NORN IRON. I live in Northern Ireland NOT Norn Iron..... I am NOT a snob i am a citizen of NORTHERN IRELAND. I feel this shortening sounds extremely stupid and as citizens of NORTHERN IRELAND we should be proud and be promoting our little country with the full title.... STAND UP BE PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY NAME.
Ban the NORN IRON title.....thats what i say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......
RANT OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no money saved from it just my SANITY:D

I read something like this the other night and I thank god, I grew up before the evolution of bebo.
Now you'd be forgiven for thinking I am over the hill - I hit 26 on saturday.
If the youth of today can't converse coherently online what hope is there for our our economy in the future.
Lets ask Iris what she thinks......then do the oppositeDavid James aint got nothing on me0 -
seriously though. I havent seen NI united in anger like this since the famine. How one woman can upset so many people in one swoop!
and dont get me started about the Belfast City Councils new branding!!!!!
£560k to copy a record label from Brightons identity
