It seemed like a fun bit so I registered the domain. I have nginx running on a server but we need to wait for the dns records to hopefully point things the right way.

So while that’s in progress, what should I put on the new site? (keeping in mind the server I got is absolutely tiny because I’m not spending -that- much on a bit, also my website making skills are minimal)

    English as a second language resources for the southerners

    Yeah, the way they say grass, bath, and path is horrendous.

      I can almost cope with those in comparison to the pronunciation of ball and wall.

      Bawawoo

      Wawawoo

      Bouncing a ball on a wall?

      Barn sing a bawawoo on a wawawoo

          I might have exaggerated it a bit, but some of the Southern accents (at least the cockney-ish ones) pronounce “L” at the end of some words as a sort of weird double-W sound, like “wwoow”.

          I personally find it troubles my ears a bit more than “grarse” and “barth” etc.

            I’ve never noticed more than a single “w” sound. It’s the “room” to “rum” Home Counties thing that really gets me but I don’t hear it as often as the grass bath path thing.
