[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 833446, member: 72439"] In the US, there are definitely accents. There is a pronounced Southern accent. Small towns in the Appalachian mountains have what I'd call a 'hick accent.' There is certainly some inner-large-city English that is different. The Northern Central US has a more drawn out style of English. I guess there was a time.... maybe 80 years ago and further where people literally could not understand each other from different parts of the country. But I think radio and then TV became the great equalizer -- setting a standard for the language. I'm surprised that's not the case in Japan ([USER=69581]@show-Zi[/USER]) and Spain and other places -- unless there is separate TV and radio for different parts of the country. [/QUOTE]
