Posted February 10, 2010 You know how you can do an impression of someone speaking Chinese, without actually saying a single Chinese word? It would probably end up sounding quite racist, but you know what I mean. :P This is from an Italian TV show, and the idea is they're doing the same thing, but with the English language. This is what English sounds like to non-English speakers. The fantastic thing is, they could almost be real lyrics. Every word is nonsense, but your brain fights to hear meaning.

Even babies react more positively to the speaking patterns of their parents' language than to other languages when played back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 10, 2010 That's possibly one of my favourite things ever, and I really have no idea why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 10, 2010 I loved that, for so many reasons. The dancing and actual music amazed. It reminded me of Teeth by Lady GaGa (same beat). But yeah, it's weird cause I just automatically try and tie what they ding to english words they presumably sound like/I've heard sung like that before.

Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah, the dancing/music was brilliant! I might just learn it myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 10, 2010 That's what kids and old people do over here when they try to sing in English, except this sounds incredible. If I were hearing in the car radio and not paying much attention, I wouldn't even notice the non-lyrics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Facebook users try login onto another site thinking it is the facebook site. ReadWriteWeb has a weblog post that ranks highly in Google’s search results for “Facebook login”. The comments on the post are filled with complaints from confused people who think that this is the new Facebook login page. It’s funny, yes, but it’s a fascinating glimpse at just how confused many people are about how web sites and browsers work. They don’t use bookmarks, they don’t type “facebook.com” in the location field. They just Google for whatever they’re looking for and assume the first result is correct. All this argument over whether the iPad is too simple — if anything it’s probably still too complex. Edited February 12, 2010 by Dante Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
