Biden still gets into trouble when he talks. He also doesn’t seem as disingenuous as Hilary, who would literally change her accent depending on who was in the room. While some of the conspiracies around her were obvious BS, like pizzagate, some like surrounding her foundation and fundraising seemed like they could be true enough to be troubling to some. she just wasn’t very likable. Biden is at least a likable goof. And many people still fondly remember the bromance memes with him and Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're not saying that it was all that was wrong with her, and personally I'm not a big Clinton fan, but for what it's worth, I know a lot of non-politicians that will change their accent based on who they're speaking with. The best examples are southerners who lessen or lose the twang until they're back around other southerners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people that slip into it, because they’re weak minded and are influenced by hearing the accents of others. They don’t even know they do it. considering how calculated she tried to be, I can see her doing it trying to seem like “one of them”. She even had this routine when she would walk on stage. Wave, smile, point at somebody in the crowd like she’s surprised to see them. If she didn’t change her clothes you’d think you were watching the same performance every time. It was the “OMG it’s you! Hi!” routine was what made me feel ill watching her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always going to have a twang to people who aren't from the South, but it becomes more pronounced, depending on who I'm around. I don't even really do it consciously. It's called code switching.

They don’t even know they do it. Are you meaning that anyone who does it is weak-minded, or just that the people you know who do it are weak-minded? If it's the former, I would push back on that a little - linguistic accommodation isn't a sign of being weak-minded. It's a natural and normal process that everyone does to some extent. It's done for the same reason that makes people speak differently with the elderly than with the young. If that wasn't what you were saying, I'll have to take your word for it on their weak-mindedness, but I believe you. 1 hour ago, CastlevaniaNut18 said: I do this a lot.

Yeah I think everyone does it to some degree, as I said above. I think it's pretty cool how we can be so adaptable. After living in Germany for 9 years, I found myself sometimes adopting certain idioms or ways of expressing myself that were poorer or even completely incorrect English but which were better understood by the non-native speakers I was around. I was aware I was doing it at the time, but it was when I was back around other native speakers that I realized how often I was doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Code switching is super common but it’s not always drastic. I’d say a lot do it between their job and when they’re home or hanging with friends. I know I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Trump and Pence both say that the Republican Convention will be moved if they are not allowed to have full attendance. If they do move it, $50 says it is to Florida, and will use Trump properties. Or Georgia because the governor is a shit stain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
