British slang is a long a slow learning process for me. Granted I'm not actually researching that hard >.>

xD well I'm still getting used to American slang. Actually I'm slightly worried by how few Americans are able to deduce that taking the piss means mocking, I would have thought it obvious.

I love British slang, I was brought up on Public Television! But I have to say that "taking the piss" is grammatically flawed; surely those being mocked are taking the piss, whilst the mockers are giving it?
...also, the British must admit that they pronounce "schedule" incorrectly! HARD CH sound!!!

Well it's a dialect thing. lol Different places have always done it differently. Canadians share a lot of British pronunciation such as Zed for Z whereas I hear Americans pronounce it Zee?
Yeah it's kinda silly that we say it that way but we know what it means. xD
Though that's a valid point.

I love the imagery and descriptiveness its clear it was written to be told not read.

I think most poetry is best read out loud

Sometimes. It depends on the reader, if the reader is uncharismatic it can be boring.

True! But I was saying that when any of us read poetry, even to ourselves, it's best to read it out loud.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that's true. It's not just the words but the sounds of the words. Though we may be able to get the idea of it in our heads the sounds create as much imagery as the words.

Exactly! The best poems cast spells, they bring whole worlds to life, sublime visions...Poe, Tennyson, Dante, Milton, Shakespeare...

Yep, but English doesn't work well with Dactylic Hexameter, but we actually speak iambic naturally so that works well for English. That's why I think Shakespeare is so popular and good.
Theatre - - it actually annoys me that we have to learn Shakespeare in English, it wasn't meant to be read it was meant to be played, spoken and acted before an audience. I enjoy Shakespeare but reading it is no good.

I agree--which is why teachers should get their students to act out scenes from the plays!

That's awesome. My first English teacher at my school let us act the murder scene in MacBeth. My group put a comedy spin on it which was more popular than you'd expect but it wasn't as good as it ordinarily would be. Fun though.

That's very very true. n.n
When I had a boring teacher for Science my grade started to drop but once I got a different teacher the next term I was much happier and my grades are back up to a B/A n.n Not quite a full A because I'm not quite that smart. n.n;;
So that proves it, teachers have to be fun otherwise the pupil doesn't focus. (lol accidental pun)

You know another British phrase that is kinda Weird? Hello faceache. It makes no sense.

I am fairly certain I would be one of those Americans had I not played Saints Row 3. It just gave the perfect context when the character uses it. hehe
Slang is strange, its often full or history and culture that really brings life to a place. *takes nerd glasses off* o.o
Anyway, my culture education continues. take care
