Default How we speak differently

I thought this was pretty neat, its a map of the united states and how we say different words differently around the country.

I hate it when I have to deal with customers from the south...I never can understand them. Also, suprisingly other people have trouble understanding my 'long island' accent. Yes it exists!

hi 'Jen (lol)
Hate is such a strong word I guess us southern- beachbum- sunburned- rednecks won't be shop'in @ your store lol...(We aint permitted to leave our county & when we did sneak away we all got lost
We'all have deep southern accents & most visitors/tourist don't understand us (lol)..Many times we dont understand each other

I don't mean it that way, just reaaaaal hard to understand them. Especially the ones with the real deep accent.
My favorite one is "The City" and NY is bright red!

Hi Keane & Members,
I wonder if everyone on planet earth sounded the same & spoke the same language that we would all get along better ?

I find it very interesting how every human is programed or taught to be who they are ? I know when I go to Orlando or Miami its like going to the United Nations with so many different people from all around planet 'earth (wow).

I think all the MCF members should record their voices & submit them on the MCF (LOL)..
p.s. Jen, no offense taken 4sure

does anyone know this actor or the movie it's from ?
Winner gets free posting on the MCF
Peace to all >Bum'Mike
