I love how people are convinced there's only two dialects of English.  Note, Britain and America - other people speak English too, and globally, most of those dialects are American English-based.  But they're still individual dialects independent from either of you smarmy, arrogant bastards.

Me, though, I'm American and I use whichever one I'm in the mood for at the time, with wild inconsistencies, because I can.

Try speaking Jamaican over the internet. It's a real head trip.

And for the record, I'm from Austin, Texas, and as such don't have a horrible accent.

 As long as you don't try to speak Cool Running Jamaican. Meeting them in real life gives you a better understanding of the accent.

 I personally have... Well I suppose a DC neutral accent. I dunno what to call it. No real flares I can detect, nobody trying to imitate my accent. I'm the generic American. Fear me.

My accent is incredibly strange.

In that it varies. Wildly. Starts off in Scotland, takes a sled to Russia, then goes around to Australia, then to Canada for a mite of tea, then jaunts over the Britain for some MORE tea, then back to Scotland again.

Am i the only that that at first confused soap with soup? Seriously, soap? The hell?
At least now i figured out they make good artifact trainees.

Not some mixed-up joke like the AMERICAN had.

So you're talking about one AMERICAN in particular here?

Really though, what I'd like to do is get tallow off of slain invaders. From there, it's off to the Ritual of Purification, and then, come implementation of soap use, dwarves will enjoy the cleansing strength of the Scrubbing Goblin Bubbles.

Only for those who eat helium every day

 How on earth did you find out about my diet plan?

 Also, soap should be weaponized in this game. Once hammer traps are fixed to propel people, soap floors could lead to amusing rooms.

 Urist: Alright, if the goblin hits the +5 point wall you get this +Dwarven Beer+. If it hit the bonus wall, you owe me yer bed.

On a semi-serious note, I have actually seen tallow soap as a requested trade good at 200%, regrettably on a map without any sand.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

Unless...  Dwarves have secretly perused the ultimate goal of dwarvern cleaning tech, hoarding all competent and useful soap makers in secret labs suspended far above the mountain homes.  After 10thousand years they have finnaly perfected the greatest soap of all, heat resistent enough to turn lava to suds!

Mix in lava, not water!  Make bubbles of molten death! Large stacks of obsidian spheres that either break into jagged pieces or roll out from under your feet as you walk.  The ultimate deathtrap technology!
