OpenSim : HyperGrid : I Suddenly Realized I Speak USA Slang in the OpenSim MetaVerse

By Avatar JayR Cela

    Wow today something just hit me in the head like a ton of Bricks, right smack up-side my left.

     The fact is there are so many different people from various portions of the planet that are participating in Open Simulator and the Hyper Grid.

     I think it should be called a grand experiment, into how do we as individual races and language barriers express ourselves to one in other properly, and with the correct translations of meaning between the various language barriers that can some times be correctly, incorrectly or explicitly manipulated. I grew up in the Detroit area of Michigan in the United States during the 1960's 70's and 80's and tend to speak what could be considered as SLANG. In other words a mumbo jumbo of proper English. This can and at times present a problem when communicating with various people from other cultures.

    In the past I have managed to stick the proverbial foot in my mouth, and accidentally insulted some of my acquaintances. And as they say, once the words leave your mouth, or keyboard, the damage is already done.

    Oh Boy / So for anyone out there that happens to be reading this I humbly apologize.
