I've always been taught that accents are for the less advanced people who are unable or unwilling to talk correctly.

Since I started speaking I was taught to say everything correctly and not have any sort of regional dialect.

No I wasn't

There's a right way to speak and then there's a wrong way

I do it correctly and feel sorry for those who don't hold themselves to the same standard. Unfortunately you run into many and I just hope they all can take my and others advice when we speak so they may speak correctly as well.

Hmmmm

I don't allow my position in the country to change the way I speak and that's wrong?

What's next?

Let's not stop at language, let's also do math

On the East coast 2 + 2 = 4

On the West coast we'll have 2 + 2 = 5

That's just as ridiculous

By your logic, all UKers are idiots (they don't speak dictionary correct), Most Americans outside of the immediate west coast states and any other English speaking nation. There sure are a lot of "un-advanced" idiots out there then. :roll:Pirate700

I'm only talking about the United States

As for the rest yes, everywhere in the US follows the same language that is intended to spoken one certain way.

It's not difficult, we even sell books that show people how to say the words. There is no excuse for parents not to teach their children correctly from the day they're born.

guys from the uk cant speak! wtf dont understand what you mean there, from his logic no-one who hasn't forced there way into speaking in a certain fashion cant speak, what your thinking aboout is how cities like london, liverpool and newcsastle have very very distinct accents that some peeps may find it challenging to understand some sentences

I like mine. As soon as I open my mouth most people know where Im from.Big_Bad_Sad

Would that be liverpool by any chance?

Who taught me this?

You're not familiar with a dictionary?

They made a handbook to teach people this, you can get it almost anywhere.

Parents don't need to scour their local cities and towns for this tool.

the liverpool fc pic not a big enough clue? and if you ask me scouse isnt as recognisable as a proper full on geordie accent.

and i speak with no accent

I'm Canadian and have never heard anyone pronounce "about" as "aboot". I'm guessing neither of you have been to Canada, your only education on the matter is probably from watching South Park. Remember kids not all stereotypes are true, in fact most of them are indeed false.

I had a strong southern drawl, but when I moved to Austin, no one spoke like that. I watched and repeated what was said on television over and over again until I finally dropped my accent. It still comes out when I'm angry or excited, though.

It's true that accents affect how people view you. Take Jasonguy for example.

dan-rofl-copter

It might not be as strong as the Geordie accent, but it is easily recognised.

this is what the most distinct accent is if you ask me, not the best example most people speak alot more stronger than that

Well they must all be from the maritimes then, they have a completely different accent than the rest of Canada, and somewhere along the way the people started calling the "maritime accent" the Canadian accent. That's like saying all of America has a Boston accent, which of course is false.
