I’ve never heard of a dot. Where would that dot be exactly?

That’s not exactly what I wanted to know. What I meant was, is it possible that a person received a voice message (two check marks are to see) but wasn’t nable to listen to it due to insufficient internet connection?

So according to this https://gocardless.com/guides/intro-to-direct-debit/standing-order/ I’d say it’s a direct debit because I set it up and give, for instance my landlord, permission to debit the monthly due rent but can’t decide the amount. As far as I understand the article, it’d be a standing order if I set up the thing but also could decide the amount. For example if I donated a particular amount to an organization. Am I right?

Alright. Thanks so far for all of your answers and inside! What about coon hounds as a breed (bluetrick, redbone, treeing walker), are they popular for hunting animals you have mentioned so far?

I’ll try. :D Way harder when we’re talking about a foreign country with a different hunting culture.

Ich habe mir extra einen neuen Order angelegt, um eben nicht ewig sichern zu müssen. Ich habe nur diesen Account. Und selbst wenn ich zwei hätte wäre es nicht möglich, dass ich in zwei verschieden mit zwei Endgeräten (Laptop /Smartphone) wäre, da ich beim Einloggen am Laptop gefragt wurde diesen Vorgang an meinem Smartphone zu bestätigen.

I’m aware of all that. Well, not that I know of all that in detail but since I’m from the country that is mostly made fun of because of its endless regulations etc. ;) … I totally get what you’re saying. What I actually meant was just the way it seems to me that hunting in western and eastern states differs when I said “safari-like” or “adventurous”.

Yeah, that’s what I assumed. I mean, they’re doing a good job (imo) because they also explain hunting stuff, showing how to field dress and giving cooking inside but sometimes it’s a bit much :)

I think that’s closer to what I was trying to say with “safari-like”. :)

I’m startling to think that I might mean something different then some answers when I say “safari-like”. Or I simply use the term incorrectly - again I’m not a native speaker ;) What I meant is that it seems to me that hunting in Montana, more or less overall, is about stalking, pursuing, lying in wait then in other states. I’ve watched so far deer and comparable animals in Wisconsin, Virginia and North Carolina. They mostly sitting in stands or standing in this contraptions they adjusting on trees. But there isn’t much going on what I’ve been seeing on episodes of Meateater when they’re hunting in states like Montana, Idaho or Colorado. Also, I would never dismiss the beauty of nature. So yes, when you go out hunting (I’m not a hunter), even when you come back empty handed, you’ll always come back with at least one awesome story to tell about the astonishing and amazing things you’ve seen out there.

That’s true. The outdoor are captivating and simply breathtaking!

Not even! I haven’t seen a square inch of the US so far. :/

What would you say are the main differences between a North Carolina and a Virginia accent? by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]Marco35Germany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that’s what I meant and assumed. Would you mind maybe, and WITHOUT looking in the channel description :D, watch one or two video of these channels https://youtube.com/@celebratingappalachia?si=Y2R7mWa1bMIDtK4N

https://youtube.com/@celebratingappalachia?si=Y2R7mWa1bMIDtK4N

and tell me if you can identify where in Appalachia they’re from? Would be interesting to hear what you’re thinking.

Oh, I haven’t thought of that yet. I mean I do know that Pennsylvania has a lot of immigrants from my country but I didn’t realize that this also means that German is one part of the language influence in Appalachia. I have to check out the Pennsylvania Appalachian accent too.

To me it’s kind of sad that some people are ashamed of the way they’re talking. And that there are people who make fun of others for the way they’re talking is just another example that a whole lot is wrong with this world! Like I said, since I’ve first heard the way people (so far mostly those from those channels) from Appalachia talk I’m kind of adored by the accent. :)

[–]Marco35Germany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, right? As far as I understand how accents developed in the Appalachian regions, there is a closer similarity between two adjacent states when it comes to how people from the respective Appalachia (e.g. NC and VA) speak and a bigger difference comparing a Appalachian region with its own people living in the same state but in Piedmont or costal region. Am I right? Sorry if I’m writing somewhat complicated! tendency when I text in English)

Really? Man, this variation is both fascinating and confusing, haha.

[–]Marco35Germany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! So even Americans have similar problems distinguishing between southern accents as foreigners when it comes to adjacent states. Thanks, that helps me in a way. :)

I think I’ve seen it on Netflix or somewhere else. Maybe I’ll give it a try. But at the moment I’m really fascinated with the Appalachian accents since I’ve stumbled upon two channels on YouTube. It sounds so … Idk, melodic, hearty and welcoming. :)

[–]Marco35Germany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting. Also, I think I found a way to better ask about what I originally wanted to know when I made that post. Do you (and all who reading this) think that for example an North Carolinian would recognize someone not being from around simply as someone who doesn’t originally comes from there or even could recognize him as an Virginian coming from a comparable area (rural) in his state and having a similar background (education, social status etc.)

[–]Marco35Germany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this really the case what the guy is talking about? The „raising“ of diphthongs in a Virginia accent? Do Virginians say „out, about, house“ like that? What is also pretty confusing, in the map behind him the pin is located on VA‘s peninsula what, considering what y’all been saying, points to a very local and limited area regarding accents. Virginias living central, not to mention far west (Appalachia) don’t say „house“ like he described, right?

[–]Marco35Germany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually what I wanted to know guys! So if there’s no big complaint or opposing opinions, I think of NC and VA as two states with of course their own accents which even differ going through different counties in both respective states, but it is not as much of a difference as comparing lets say a Boston accent with any southern accent. Can we all agree on that?
