Re: She's not saying it right either

In Response To: She's not saying it right either (Rockslider)


: It sounds odd partly because it's British slang and partly because she's
: not saying it right. It's something you'd say quick in a tone of
: dismissive annoyance or something like that, but she draws out the first
: word in strange fashion. She sounds like someone not used to being crude
: and it comes out kind of embarrassing. In any case I think some sort of
: sour put-down would've been more in keeping with Cortana's style. With
: this outburst she suddenly sounds a bit childish. When I first heard it,
: it seemed wildly out of place and left me bemused.

: Given her American accent, I'm surprised they didn't just think of a more
: suitable line. But maybe there was some complication to do with what was
: permissible for the certification they were aiming at? Perhaps they
: couldn't think of an acceptable American substitute?

Given that the rest of the game earned it an M rating they could've put almost any word they wanted in that line. As far as drawing out the first word, emphasis, which she had plenty of as she was yelling, can also make people draw out words, and Americans swear differently (you petaq). :)

You cannot fall off the floor.
