gold10: do what?creat a website?
Maggi: rainy...well here is a little heat wave.
Vance: Yes, you want to create a website.
Maggi: it should rain again tonight.
Ying-Lan: ^I went to go to class this afternoo.The traffic was heavy and it was getting worse because it rained at the that time.
Maggi: last night we had a thunder and lightening storm.
Ying-Lan: ^Was it terrible?
Maggi: best to go pofg
Maggi: offline then
Maggi: I have a special plug for my computer.
Maggi: But some people have had to reinstall everything.
Ying-Lan: so.
Maggi: I was at a company a few weeks ago and there were two hits with lightening.
Ying-Lan: ^You mean the thunder hit your computer?
Maggi: they have emergency electricity for their computers.
Maggi: not mine...
Maggi: and it is the lightening that hits...
Maggi: ...the thunder just makes noise.
Ying-Lan: ^My modeam was out of work last year, because of the thunder.
Vance: We don't get that kind of weather here. I miss dramatic weather.
Maggi: no, because of the lightening...
Ying-Lan: bceause of the lighting?
Maggi: well this was really dramatic Vance.
Vance: lightning ... lightNing
Maggi: thunder won't knock anything out...
Maggi: oops
Maggi: Vance is right...
Maggi: I was thinking in German#
Vance: I hadn't noticed yours actually. YL said lighting, which is something else.
Maggi: boogers
Vance: Lighting is the way you illuminate a room. Lightening is the act of making lighter. And lightning is electricity in a storm. I was only pointing this out as a matter of interest.
Ying-Lan: ^I have seen some movies talking about the white man fighted with Blacks.. It is a big problem in USA, isn't it? Actually, I don't understand which one hit my computer. thunder or light
Maggi: all the electricity went out in Darmstadt...but it hit only meters away from where we were sitting.
Vance: lightning hit your computer.
Maggi: yep...thunder only makes noise.
Vance: Really. Lightning struck meters from where you were sitting?
Maggi: yes#
Ying-Lan: lightning
Vance: NOT
Vance: For real?
Ying-Lan: not what?
Maggi: jes
Maggi: eee...yes
Vance: That's just a funny way of disagreeing, to say NOT!
Maggi: and then it hit again a few
Maggi: minutes later
Ying-Lan: ^You mean it is not a problem.
Ying-Lan: ^How about the 3k party... it exists now.
Maggi: knocked out the lightning rods on the roof.
Vance: So Gold, what are we going to do about getting you access to our website? Should I move to homestead.com?
Vance: 3k party? What's that?
Maggi: I won't live that long Ying!
Ying-Lan: I don't know.
Vance: ahh, Y3K
gold10: @64,64 !It's gold10
Ying-Lan: ^I just saw a movie talking about it.
Vance: I read a joke the other day about terrible disruptions caused by Y1K. Plague and all that stuff.
Maggi: let's just get throught the Y2K oner
Maggi: onre
Maggi: one first
Ying-Lan: Not Y2k?
Maggi: who ate the bird and drank his beer?
Vance: It's a joke. Imagine that people in the year 999 were worried about the new millenium.
Ying-Lan: what is the joke? Y2K plus one ...

Maggi: no, we are worrying about the computer
gold10: what will be taught at section 7?
Maggi: I meant Gold Ying...

Vance: He's VERY British.
Maggi: British means anyone from the UK
Ying-Lan: ^His accent is different from Vance. I guessed.
Maggi: he is a Brit Ying
Maggi: Oh yes...
Vance: You're right, Ying. Did you hear him?
Ying-Lan: ^no...
gloria: I though he was american
Maggi: even Vance and I have different accents and we are both American.
(big dogs clan)SHER: @64,64 !It's (big dogs clan)SHER
Vance: Hello big dogs clan sher
Maggi: big dogs?
Maggi: what kind of dogs?
Ying-Lan: ^Last week, I talked to someone in English by phone.. he wanted me to guess where he is from by his accent.
(big dogs clan)SHER: YEA YEA
Maggi: forget it Ying...
gloria: even australians have different accent
Maggi: true göoria
Maggi: oops Gloria
Maggi: I have a friend from Yorkshire who lives in Austria
(big dogs clan)SHER: @64,64 !It's (big dogs clan)SHER
Michael C: Australians have a terrible accent!
Ying-Lan: Really?
(big dogs clan)SHER: yeayesa

gloria: I can recognize australians, britishes and americans from their accents
Maggi: Michael
Ying-Lan: ^Really, gloria.
Maggi: <Oh
Ying-Lan: ^I could not do it...
Vance: That's good, Gloria. People here in the UAE often can't tell British from Americans.
Maggi: yxou might have a hard time with me Gloria
gloria: yes sure thanks in part to the tv
Michael C: My face to face students have big trouble hearing diffferent accents.
Vance: I can't tell where a Spanish person is from unless he or she is from Castillian Spain.
Michael C: My students cannot hear what to me is a VERY obvious American accent.
Ying-Lan: ^me, too. But Michael , your voice is nice to understand.
Vance: Also, I can't really tell an Austrian from a German.
Michael C: You're saying nice things about me tonight Ying!
Ying-Lan: It is true.
gloria: I like american accent the most (sorry Michael)
Michael C: I'll send you more Pure Voice messages!
Ying-Lan: Thanks...
Michael C: Gloria that's terrible!
Maggi: I can tell an Austrian from a German...and Arnold is Austrian!!
Ying-Lan: I hope I will send you more.
Vance: Gloria is perfectly correct there. :-)
Michael C: British accents (or South African) are best by far!
Maggi: i guess it is time I sent a pure voice message.#
Ying-Lan: ^i am desire to listen you, maggi.
Michael C: You're biased Vance. At least I'm objective!
Ying-Lan: ^i desire to listen you, maggi.
gloria: Maybe itīs true Michael but I like american accent..
Maggi: I don't agree Vance...I like Michael's accent.
Maggi: Dave complained I was starting to sound like him!
Maggi: I CAN't take that monotonous rrrrr of some Aamericans
Michael C: All accents sound good!
gloria: Betweenus (latin american people) there are many different accents
Michael C: Are there any Spanish accents you don't like Gloria"?
Vance: I was just joking. I think Michael has a great VOICE, and I'm indifferent to his accent.
gloria: Maybe caribean spanish accents
gold10: can you here each other?
Michael C: So you don't care about my accent Vance. I'm offended!
Maggi: it is a matter of preference
Vance: Yes Gold, we use Pure Voice, which I sent you earlier.
Michael C: So what's wrong with Carribean accents?
Maggi: ...the more I teach the more I like the accents my students have.
gloria: They pronounce r as l
Maggi: so do the Japanese
gold10: @64,64 !It's gold10
gloria: exactly
gold10: can you here each other?

gold10: I will try
Ying-Lan: ^reply me by email. right?
MEDO: @64,64 !It's MEDO
Vance: I suggest you download the program again. Maybe there was corruption in the file.
Michael C: Hi Medo. Are you an EFI student?
