Cancer Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Considering the mainstream meaning of "hanged", I think that is actually more appropriate for adverse computer conditions that require manual reset than "hung". But I recognize I am probably not in the mainstream on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveZilla Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I need some help. I have a character who is French, and I want to type what he says in a way that conveys a French accent/mannerisms. I tried doing a google search, but all I got were texts on how to type (via an alt+### code) the various accented characters. Suggestions?

SteveZilla Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Okay, how about a "French laugh"? And I wasn't sure if "ze" sounded more French, or strangely, German. And I don't think I can use the Alt characters in chat in CoH. I'll have to check. I do know they don't allow them for character names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is really interesting how typing out German accented words are close to the French accented words. I think the difference is in the reader's perception of the accent more than the words/spelling themselves. I played a German hero in a HC campaign and typed "in German" the entire time. It got easier over time. Not sure if any of my fellow players appreciated the effort though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
