in an effort to increase the popularity of this great and brilliant novel, i'm here to suggest we implement a series of changes throughout the text to better translate it to modern day speech.
one of the most complex and backwards characters found in this work is mr. bennet, whose sarcasm and wit are often misinterpreted as 'boringness' by modern-day students. i suggest we counteract this with a measure of our own: using gizoogle.net's textilizer to modify his lines to fit a more contemporary equivalent.
some examples;
"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party."
"I peep no occasion fo' dis shit. Yo ass n' tha hoes may go, or you may bust dem by theyselves, which like is ghon be still better, fo' as yo ass be as thugged-out as any of them, Mista Muthafuckin Bingley may like you tha dopest of tha party."
"You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy."
"Yo ass is over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mista Muthafuckin Bingley is ghon be straight-up glad ta peep you; n' I'ma bust all dem lines by you ta assure his ass of mah hearty consent ta his crazy-ass marryin whichever his schmoooove ass chizzlez of tha girls; though I must throw up in a phat word fo' mah lil Lizzy."
"From all that I can collect by your manner of talking, you must be two of the silliest girls in the country. I have suspected it some time, but I am now convinced."
"From all dat I can collect by yo' manner of rappin', you must be two of tha silliest hoes up in tha ghetto. I have suspected it some time yo, but I be now convinced."
thoughts?
