...and I started to think how amazing it is that such individual accents are able to survive in our increasingly smaller world.

Yes, you should have been IN Europe, because the US sucks.
Take your ass over to P&N if you're going to start up with this crap again.

Uhh, correct me if I'm wrong... BUT DIDN'T YOU JUST START IT?

No. I meant accents. Look at the UK... A common language, but so many different accents within minutes of each other. Amazing.

We're like Mexican immigrants... nobody likes us, but you'd all be screwed without us.

The US is similar to Europe in terms of accents (we have a lot of them, and a lot of variations on the ones we have).

It's really hard to get rid of accents, especially if you retain your old language. That's just from my experience of seeing others, not my own! :p

Sorry about that troll, must've gotten out while I was getting a beer. *Prod* Lonyo
