What Kind of American English Do You Speak?
Having been born in Chicago to Midwestern parents, but raised in Texas, I suppose my accent and use of American English got neutralized.. or warped. I’m without the nasal accent or long drawl often associated with each region. And I suppose it’s a little weird that both “y’all” and “pop” are in my vocabulary instead of “you guys” and “pop” (upper Midwest) or “y’all” and “coke” (South).
Have a good weekend, everyone!
