Temperature != 'tempichur'

[StinkyPinky]

Godless, you're destroying years of work that the NZ Tourism Board (or whatever the fuck its called) has done in building up New Zealanders as cool Australians with odd quirks.

You come across as an opinionated American teenager. You sure you're not from jersey?

I'm really not sure what me being a kiwi has to do with me having a tongue in cheek rant. I don't look at TridenTboy's posts and assume that every American is just like him So you shouldn't assume that every kiwi is just like me. There are over 4 million of us.

A whole state? Really? Where?

Parts of Alabama. In some cases, you need a translator to understand these guys. Example:

I don't speak like that, but I could understand him with out a problem. :laugh:

Does not compute.

I grew up in the south and maybe I just didn't explore into the distant regions enough but I hardly ever heard anyone with an accent and when I did it typically was hardly noticeable. Only in extreme cases would you hear someone with a thick, southern accent. It's just as rare as hearing a really bad northern accent or whatever else you want to compare it to. I grew up in several southern states and have family in several northern states. Mostly everyone sounds exactly the same to me barring the very few words that are pronounced differently.

I now live in CO and no one knows where I'm from since I have zero detectable accent from either region. No one here sounds any different than where I grew up or where my extended family lives. In my experience, the USA has 'dialects' but they aren't what I'd really consider true dialects compared to say USA vs British English.

I assume "vetchtables" annoy you too?

It really depends where you were in the south. The area I live in for example, is pretty diverse and has no real "accent" largely because my city is a military town because of Ft. Hood But, if I travel a little bit west (north or south), you encounter more and more country folks, and you get the accents.

If you live anywhere near a big city in the south, you're not gonna notice the accents, because they really don't exist there. You'd have to go out in the country to experience it (for the most part).
