Happy May Day!!
Some further delving into accents...I thought I'd see what kind of accent I have!!
(side-notes--I remember NOT understanding a convenience store worker in Georgia who was trying to give me directions. I thought she was saying go down the highway to highway "286"...but she was saying to just go down the highway "two exits"!! WHAT an embarrassing experience that was as I kept repeating the question in various ways until I finally understood her!! Also, I now realize I don't say Nevada the way a Nevadian would say it--I say the "va" like vaaah/vamonos...NOT "va" like vaseline!!)I wish I had known about the worldwide accent project from numerous years ago!!...some FUNNY accent videos out there!!
