Analogue or Digital?

Thank the Goddess that we do not have accents out here on the Left Coast!

There's no "thar" in southeast Texas, you can be sure of that. That thar accent is in West Texas, where those little dogies are. No dogies down 'round Ann-yoo-ack, either. Tsall rahss farmers down that way.

The rhytm is different, too. In Anahuac, it would be "Wess Taixes", while in West Texas, they would have more of a Weeeeest Teeeeexus draaaaaaaaaawl.

I grew up in Houston, completely accentless, of course. Actually, you can drop me anywhere and I'll pick up the accent pretty quickly. My last trip to Lon Gisland had me saying "gahead" within a day. My trip to Baaastin two weeks ago was a bridge too far, however, though I do know how to paaak the caaaah in the garaaaadge after returning from Staaaaah Maaaaaket.

The British complain about Americans but refuse to narrow it down. I would submit that American accents differ as much as Yorkshire vs. London's east side (is there such a thing as Cockney any more?), and it surprises me that those two breeds can occupy any land where people think they own the rights to the language.

Now you are channeling Seldom Seen Smith, of a rural (and now slightly damp) town in southern Utah.

We don't have accents in England. Americans who wonder what we sound like only have to watch the film Mary Poppins and listen to Dick Van Dyke's character to see what I mean.

I've about had it with that English propriety thing... I still have to get thru the second
half of the Barry Lyndon DVD tonite. Just despicable ... folks going around shooting each
other due to honor. At least here in America we can shoot people at random because the
Second Amendment tell us to. Suppose in Texas they skin and eat them too... but that's
not really America.

[Old-N-Feeble]

We Texans only shoot Yankees, Californians and DC folk. The rest we can tolerate. Stay on your own side of the fence yonder and you'll be okay. And what is a Californian doing talking about the 2a anyway?
