This was taken from an actual conversation! It's written phonetiacally, and shows the extremities of the English language, and dialect.

Reading hints: You are on the phone. The other party is also in the hotel........(Try to guess before reading n! lol)

  1. I agree, very not Cornish.

    If you want an example of dialect, read something by Irvine Welsh (I recommend Trainspotting). Most of his books are written in phonetic Scots, quite hard to understand at first but very easy once you get into it.


  2. If it really was Cornish, then I would have thought that the hotel owner would have said "Bleenin' Emmetts" under his breath!  


  3. It's corny... Mexican, not Cornish

  4. Never call during breakfast when the other party is eating...

  5. haha. omg. yes, funny little chinese man.

    lmao.

    u made me smile today!

    :]]]

  6. Geez, it sounds like my last conversation with the boss!

  7. I agree that the accent looks Spanish. Possibly Central American.

  8. Was the guesthouse owner asian? It doesn't sound very cornish to me. If you're going to plagiarise, at least get things right.
