Although even we argue about some pronunciations.

Scone (rhymes with gone) or scone (rhymes with cone) for example.
I prefer it rhyming with cone personally. *Shrugs*

Ach, it lookz loike tiz a major toime fer me tae zay zummat, zince Ah am takin' a Linguizticz clazz...

Tae ze queztion o' vot iz 'Proper' Englizh (along viz 'Proper' ozer languagez), zere iz really nay zuch zing. Ze (incorrect) belief zat vone zpeakin' o' a language iz more proper, zuperior, lezz-proper, inferior, und etc. iz kenned az "Prezcriptavizm". A good example o' ziz iz ze very common correction given vhen ye are learnin' Englizh clazzez at ze young yearz, ze 'Vho' v.s 'Vhom' dizagreement. Anozer iz ze vord "Ain't". Actually boz Vho und Vhom are boz correct formez o' Englizh und grammatically correct, und loikevoize viz Ain't. Zere iz nae vone, 'correct vay tae zpeak it. Zere are Accentz und Dialectz.

'Accent' und 'Dialect' tend tae be uzed interchangeably, but ze official definitionz are zeze.
'Accentz' are ze vayz ze language iz pronounced und zpoken und 'ov ze grammar iz ordered vhen it iz zpoken by zomebeazt vho iz nae a native zpeaker o' it. In ozer vordz, zomevone vho'z firzt language iz zummat elze (loike French, Zpanizh, Russian, etc.) und vho'z learned ziz vone zometoime later on. Examplez o' ziz can be zpeakerz vho dinnae uze vordz loike 'To' und 'The', becauze in zeir native language zey dinnae 'ave zoze, und zentencez bein' in a different order becauze zey're uzed tae zeir native format.
'Dialectz' are ze different verzionz o' a language zpoken by native zpeakerz o' ziz language. Und vhen beingz are taught ze language az children, zey are taught ziz or zat vay in vote'er ze teacher(s)'z Dialect iz. Examplez o' Dialectz are zingz loike Scotch-Englizh, Irish-Englizh, Nev Zealand-Englizh, Auztralian-Englizh, und etc. None o' zem iz more or lezz Englizh zan any o' ze ozerz. Zey're av juzt different Dialectz o' it.

Und zat iz me lang pozt fer ze day!

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

Yeah, that's actually very true. We were just having fun enjoying a completely pointless argument. (It was fun for me, anyway)

However, there was something said that is not true and I cannot leave it to cause havoc.

LANGUAGES ARE NOT BORING!!!
There are a lot of stuff in this world that are boring but language is definitely not one of them.

Are you adding on to the et sequens?
I've been looking back over these past few months, and I've felt off. Felt different. At the time, I wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days.
But now? Could I just ignore all the ways I've suffered and grown? Caught hold and let go? Could I return from life, having now lived?
