My own use of NLE


I thought it would be fun to do some sort of self evaluation and figure out how much NLE I use on a day to day basis.

Usually when I talk I'm told you can't always tell where I'm from, but I am guilty of having some fun with NLE.

First off, when I likes something, I don't say "I loves it" like many Newfoundlanders. I instead say "I dies for it". This is a prase a lot of my friends use and only those from NL.

Another thing I find myself doing often is instead of saying very or really, I say right. If I'm really upset I'm "right sad" or if I'm very cold, I'm "right chilly

Finally (I'm fairly certain I've only done this once), I was very angry once (or right pissed) and when somebody asked me about it I reponded with "I'm after  doing this, this and this. And I still ain't got nothing done!' This was very strange for me as I didn't know I was capable of sounding so much like my mother.
I find that when I'm angry about something my use of NLE is a lot more prominant.
