Scribblenauts Getting UK-Specific Words

[The_Deleted]

I'm so getting this on the first payday after release.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

There needs to be regional versions in the US too for that matter. After moving to Massachusetts, I can't tell you how frustrating it was to find a drinking fountain since I refused to call them "bubblers" (still the stupidest piece of New England jargon there is.)

If we're going that far, regional versions for the UK should be in there as well so you can tell your cob from your bap from your roll from your barn brack.

Really, what is the point of that "U"? You guys and your excessive vowels.

Says the man with a surname that sounds like straining on the loo.

Well I kind of Imported Scribblenauts so I doubt this concerns Me

HURRY UP PLAY ASIA SVENPARTY WANT HIS SCRIBBLENAUTS(a term I never really understood what is a scribblenaut)

 

[The Kangaroo]

Seeing this thread makes me even more sad that Scribblenauts is at best, average

 

[Blanks]

cool, i may import that version for fun

EDIT: but what about Canada, we spell colour with a U and other things i think

The best thing about Scribblenauts is the way it has leeroy jenkins and keyboard at

To Quote Buffy and Giles:

"Speak English, not whatever they speak in..."
"England?"

I hope this applies to the Australian release too, since i dislike having to write color or armor as well. (yay for extra vowels!)

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

In all seriousness, though, I wonder just what's the exact number of UK-specific words they're programming into the game. Is our (US) slang that different from theirs (UK) that say, two hundred extra words need to be put in, or is it just a few dozen?

Most of it's probably just spelling changes such as color to colour etc.

Should we just start calling him Keane HNNNNNGGGGG?

does that mean that we won't have to do your stupid way of spelling "colour"? huzzar!

Also, come to think of it, how is this game meant to work in non-English speaking countries??? its only just occured to me :S

Don't you mean "Huzzah!". Cazy misspelling Brits.

Also, lots of tedious localization is how it will work.

...
I now declare you my public nemesis, yankee!

Dang redcoats! TO ARMS! TO ARMS!

Why yes, the people of England do indeed have a pair of arms, but I don't see any reason to shout about it.

1. To quote eddie izzard. "The US spells throu as "Throu" and I have to agree, unlike the English way of spelling it. "okay Throu, T, H, R, O, U.. and lets put a G there!" a G!?" "Yes! Silent G! Incase of any mishaps!" "Fine.." And an H! Incase any 'Herbs' (Pronounced in the US as 'erb) come around!" "Now wait just a minute!-" "And an R and a Z and a Q and an X! There! It's a word thats worth 300 points in scrabble!"

2. I do! You freaks and your well done health care system, breathing all the unhealthy man's air!

I bet there isn't an option to summon two world wars and one world cup into existence, thus it can never be truly British.

You yanks and your excessive consonants.

Hurray I won't have to spell humour as humor!!! or colour as color or underwear as pants!!!

[Lazzi]

This is horrible, I speak in spanglish twenty four seven.

I took and passed the AP english language exam and I didnt even know that the word bassanet existed until two days ago. This is goign to be sheer hell...

 

[Lazzi]

Holy crumpets! Crikey,guv'nor! *insert some more stereotypical british words here*

Those are stereotypical ENGLISH phrases.

I'm Scottish. We don't say that here. I wonder if it will know what tatties are.

Are they anything like tetas? Cause I dont think those would be very helpfull in the game.

 

[BoredKellon]

As a Canadian, I am now stuck with the conundrum of which version to buy.
