Not at all! If I'm going to be corrected, I want it to be by an expert native French-speaker!

Seriously that perfume advert video needs a voice over, like you get in those really strange ones with the skinny models.

[LolaLei]

Oooo maybe with a farmer accent! That would be ****ing hilarious!

we say en masse, but in abundance would work too!

Actually (I learned this from watching the second Elizabeth movie - haha) Europe didn't get potatoes until the Elizabethan era when she sent ships to explore America and they brought them back for the first time. True story! I was shocked - I'd have thought they were native to Ireland and stole them from over there - who knew?

What would you guys guess Cullen's favorite meal is?

That may seem like a silly question, but I think it's pretty character-revealing, personally. Like Alistair and his gray, tasteless, overcooked Ferelden stew - LOL!

[VampOrchid]

You know...blood mages could have a commercial too lol

I want to say veal, potatoes and bread. It's pretty standard, but that's what I like a man to eat lol. Veal/steak whatever one is good.

it's almost midnight here and I am starving...that's bad I hate eating before bed...it's all this food talk I swear!

Erm, who the hell is Templar hugh and why isn't he wearing his Templar uniform?

[VampOrchid]

Quick question I guess...for those who write/read fic....

When writing a character that has a thick accent...do you write her lines the way she would speak them or the way it's grammatically correct to write them?

I think it's more challenging to write them the way she would actually speak them. Also, as a reader I think it helps me dive into the story more.

Thoughts...

Hugh along with Paxley, Ruvena, Wilmod and Keran are new templar recruits in the Templar Order in Kirkwall.

Hugh along with Paxley, Ruvena, and Keran (if he is allowed to keep his position) three years later are seen in the Gallows Courtyard as full pledged templars.

For some reason in Act II and III Hugh is seen wearing dark grey and silver Guardsmen Armour. Comfirmed on pc ps3

as per dragon wiki

If they have a heavy accent I'd write it in, but not so dramatically that it's a distraction. And not every character should have their accent spelled phonetically - just the ones that stand out. Like Hagrid in the Harry Potter books. We get the idea that Professor McGonagal might be Scottish even though her speech doesn't show it since she's always wearing tartan when she can. The author can sometimes just give clues like that, or say things like "in a Nevarran accent so thick, Sally wasn't sure he was speaking the common tongue at all." or "... she purred, in that sexy Orlesian accent he loved."

Haha - as our resident Orlesian, I vote you begin every post with "Le". My husband does this all of the time. "I am le tired." or "I am le hungry."
