When I was younger I used to try to emulate accents. I failed most of the time but did manage to get a good few words in a American accent, well I think I did well anyway xD
 
I think they're referring to the "white collar" American accent, as opposed to the "Southern", "New York", "Boston", etc. (otherwise known as the "white people" accent)

As for Scottish accent, here's what I can tell:

- "ch" is "x" (as in "achmed" :p) whenever not explicitly "tch"
- "h" turns into "ch"
- "r" becomes "rr" or an awkward combination of both
- a "short" vowel followed by a "stop" consonant (eg "not") turns into an "ai"/"ae" (eg "do-not"->"dinnae")
- "ay" isn't pronounced as "strongly", turning into more of "ae"
- a "weird" vowel (such as "hot" or "hen") gets turned into the closest "true" vowel (aeiou)
- "ai"->short "e"

I don't even

I guess I'm just gonna have to listen to Craig fergusson for the rest of my life

It can be confusing when accents get in the way of how words are pronounced:

American accents say Ras"eb"errys and New Zealand accents say Ras"ab"berrys.

And there are a few more differences in the way we say the same spelled words like a G can sound like a J coming from a American accent to me
 
So overall, made back the money I lost here in Vegas so far.

I could've earned that and more by working for a day, which I do. Herein lies the impracticality of gambling. You win some, you lose some, but mostly you lose some then get pissed off.

Or like me, you usually end up leaving with what you came in with and realized it was all a waste of time. But hey, at least you still feel like a winner. Sort of...
 
Lol maybe I'm playing too much Pokémon but everybody I know and I pronounce it "Razz Berry" :p

Speaking of money, remember as a kid when $5 was this huge amount of money? Like if your grandparents gave you $5 you felt like you could buy the whole candy shop?
Yeah I've returned to that. #unilyf #yoloswag #whydoespcnothavehashtags?

Oh gosh, Powerball would be a huge jackpot to win. Same with Mega Millions. It was a huge hype out here a few months ago when that senior citizen won the large Powerball jackpot just north of my hometown.

In other news, good morning everyone. How's your day?

I used to buy lottery tickets a little bit, of course I never won anything. I wouldn't even know what I'd do if I ever did win, all that money @_@ at least I wouldnt have to worry about being unemployed so much, but of course I'm extremely unlikely to ever win. I sort of want to buy lottery tickets now just to take the chance :P even though it's a waste most of the time.

Speaking of the lottery, if you ever did win a jackpot, what would you do with the money? I would buy myself a nice house, donate some to charity take nice vacations and save the rest.
 
Hahaha I'd buy a car, a house, and save! Probably prepare to retire early or plan to work light schedules for the rest of my life.
 
Buy a car for sure, and i prolly save up the rest. Im not someone who would spend a lot and act different when i win the lottery (though i would like to buy a top hat did i ever manage to win the lottery, and maybe a monocle... Nah that would be silly xD)
 
Are you saying or assuming?

Cause trust me. It was bliss. I've never been more happy to be a bad skater, ever. Falling down was like heaven for once.
