I'm looking to buy a piece of property to live in out in the country side of Los Santos. Please send me an email at [email protected] for more information.

I agree with you so much @HaveADream . While not trying to suggest anything; I feel like when people actually write out slang it's hit pretty decently sometimes or just completely off the mark. Again without trying to suggest anything, I like the idea that we could be more open to ways we could express dialects/slangs/languages when we interact within people of our IC circles. I feel like this could help break the ice, if you will, into role playing different cultures or subcultures as rules and investigations are developed and norms of the server of a particular dialect/slang are slowly established and reciprocated around the community and the ability to [input language] when you don't know the language at all. I feel this may be a good idea in dealing with this topic without being too stereotypical of other people in which someone may have no contact with at all besides just watching a movie or book, etc.. Although I think the use of foreign languages is perhaps by nature a negative into power gaming rules or at least adds more grounds in which to power game, so perhaps not.

I'll try to keep this short as possible to attract more people to this "question" we have in role playing accents or dialects in languages, in order to encourage more dialogue on the issues of this topic and hopefully a solution or defined rule to it. So basically I have seen a mixed usage of how people express different slang, accents, dialects, as well as, just another language itself, which I will address in a bulleted format. Either a person will use /do Is speaking/speaks in [input language] or /me (which I think is incorrect anyways, as it used to describe actions or actions alone). They will put their language before speaking as is shown in this example (Russian) I think I like candy more than life itself. They will write in a foreign language I.E speak the language. For the case of slangs and accents, people will have either correctly or incorrectly used a slang (which by the way is not so easily researched on public forums on the internet besides having actual contact with such slang in OOC means- in my opinion). Anyway, these three aforementioned bullet points are the examples in which I have seen then the use of slang/accents/languages. I would like some clarification for the topic so people can role play with more fluidity and provide a better general experience to people role playing people of different backgrounds. For me personally I think this is an interesting topic to the roleplay community as I have done much research on the topic and have found little answers to this.
