Why I love the internets A collection of things that prove why the internet(s) is/are awesome

helloimfromtheinternet:

Because I want to know how other people (you) pronounce the word internet. If you want to contribute, please follow the steps below:

First things first:

• Record yourself saying “Hello, I’m from the internet.” in your native language and/or accent. [If you need a sound editor, Audacity is a great piece of code that is designed for this very purpose.]
• Save your recording as a WAV file. [MP3 is fine, too.]

Ways to send me your recordings:

• The easiest way: Directly email the file to me at (dimbaud@gmail.com).
• Another practical way: Upload your recording using Senduit or Dropbox, and send the link to me via this form or by emailing to (helloimfromtheinternet@tumblr.com).
• Yet another pretty easy way: Use SoundCloud, then just send me the link.
• The tricky way: PM me your link via /query coldpillow on irc.freenode.net.

Please don’t forget to include these in your message:

• Your native dialect.
  [i.e. “English (British; Coventry, Warwickshire)” or “Danish (Nordjydsk/Sjællandsk)”]
• Original version of the sentence you’ve recorded in proper transcription. (Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4)
• Translation of the sentence. (Look at the examples given above)
• Your preferred alias to be credited as in your post; your name, nickname with your weblog’s URL, etc.
