triple_lei 12/30/21 8:09:01 PM #92:	I was expecting to be let down but this is actually pretty funny. And what's the deal with them saying pass-ta (pasta) instead of "pahsta" like the rest of us?

Criminalt 12/31/21 3:46:56 PM #99:	DrizztLink posted... Again, super simplistically put, the American accent is relatively similar to Shakespearean English. Regional American accents during the colonial period echoed the distinctive British accents of the settlers' regions of origin: East Anglia/Massachusetts, West Country/Virginia, North Midlands/Delaware Valley, northern British borderlands/Appalachian backcountry. No single American accent, and no single British, "Shakespearean" accent even at the time. Surely the American accent has been far more susceptible to change over the centuries, thanks to demographic changes wrought by hugely diverse inflows of migrants and greater mobility across a vast continent? --- No tricks <cite>Criminalt posted [p:961361887] in lol @ how ...
