Well, that gets right to the point doesn't it? And I thought they were blatant before...

(incidentally, I hate the "you're typing in all uppercase" sensor)

The New Yorker accent is hardly the typical American. As far as following the correct rules of pronunciation, the Western flat accent that is found out on the West coast is the most accurate representation of spoken English. What they speak on that rock in the Atlantic is a butchering of sounds and, often, spelling :sly:

Lemme go pahk my cah and go to k-maht... :scared:

Man that's some crazy stuff. I like the sound of more southern accents, personally. I don't even know what mine is, I just talk how I talk, plain and simple

Yeah, I always find that a touch amusing how you guys can place each other of your accents.

Most of the time, you can't. I can probably place something like 50 UK regional accents, and approximately imitate around ten to twenty of those. To most of us, "a Scottish accent" is Mrs. Doubtfire or Shrek (which, oddly, is what a Scottish accent is to an American and a Canadian) - the reality is that you get Scots like daan (I miss one word in 10) and holdenhsvgtsr (I catch one word in thirty), who live about 10 miles apart.

I believe Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid to most, Zukovsky from Bond to others, Fitz from Cracker to some and Dr. Samuel Johnson from Blackadder III to a select bunch of us) has said he can identify and mimic over 600 British accents - to say nothing of several non-British ones he's portrayed on screen.

How did y'all (correct usage, unlike your edit of Duke :p ) develop such a spread in the spoken language there anyhow?

I can speak American! Just the temptation to modify "all" when talking about Texans was too great. I tell you whut.

To answer the question, centuries of isolationist inbreeding.

I almost hate the fact that it's so much more than that when it comes to Texas. :dunce:
