[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 86247, member: 637"] People from the North and South do have different accents. I watched an educational program one night on PBS about how it came about. Different countries landed in different parts of the United States and of course, the speech was totally different. So the speech patterns and accents came from these groups. I guess each country was proud of their own and they could recognize where they were from later by the chopped up English. Seems the South is mostly influenced by the Irish. I forgot what speech they said influenced people from the North. They illustrated with speech from Ireland and Southern speech and how it transformed. It was very interesting and would like to see it again. As I always say, we just repeat what parents said, grandparents, etc..... Southern people talk slower, Northern people faster, different accents. I guess it is much like schools, no matter what, each town seperated, made teams and went against each other. Just a human nature thing. I find us all the same on intelligence, stupidity etc..... We just all go about expressing it differently. :D [/QUOTE]
