Do you read other peoples posts and imagine what they sound like?

    I've taken to doing this by looking first at the user name and then imagining what they sound like. Anyone else at this?

    Yeah, there are some posters I read the posts of and think "he would definitely sound like this"

    Like Makikomi, I think he probably has a gruff north dublin accent, very ballymun, but not in a durty scummer way, and I am pretty sure I would be right though I have never heard him speak.

    Then there is Liah who I always read her posts with a neutral accent in my head, but I think she would probably have a stronger canadian one than I imagine, so I am probably wrong the way I read it.

    I read all posts of posters I know in an imagined accent, I would say I could be right about 40% of the time.

    Probably me? I was just thinking that right there when I saw your username anyway haha. Not like chipmunk, less high pitched but more chirpy? :D it's because it sounds like a happy username!

    Yeah, for a lot of them particularly those who use :rolleyes: twice a sentence, I imagine to be taking out their ass, so they have a kind of echo.

    I base it entirely on avatars, so basically:

    KeithM89 sounds iike Jack Bauer

    Pauleta sounds like Fat Tony

    OutlawPete sounds like Springsteen

    We''lallhavetea is a
    sex
    kitten

    And Starbelgrade sounds like a man cackling in glee every time his posts are thanked.

    Hmm, describing it is hard...I actually can't, but an inner city accent, probably deeper than most.

    I always imagine you as having a really thick Nigerian accent, cos I used to work with a Nigerian lady called Pauletta.......:D:o

    Always imagine Biggins as having a really posh, clipped English accent just like James Bond :cool:

    What's it called I wonder. Imagining someones voice? It's a bit like an optical illusion only with voices and stuff.

    I agree, I base the posters mostly on their avatars, if any user changes their avatars it gets all out of whack..

    If I see a pic of them it also messes up the alignment of my boards..

    We'll all have tea - always makes me think of Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted.. sorry :o

    KeithM89 makes me think that he is saying his name is Keith and then has to think (em...) about a year and goes for 89... sorry keith :o

    I can't think of any others at the moment but that's the way my funny brain works ..
