Ha - there's no such thing as an "American" accent <g> - there are many flavors of American Accent.
I remember going to Hawaii and someone there told me that I had a "Long Island" accent which completely threw me because, although I now live on Long Island, I grew up in Brooklyn and Queens until I was 11. And, I don't say "Lawn Guyland" like many other natives here. I also remember working in Boston once and someone there with a heavy Boston accent told me that I was the one with the accent and not him <g>. I don't know - whenever I watch national news programs the commentators don't sound like they have accents to me so I must be in the majority :-) Howie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Lyons" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 11:03 AM Subject: RE: On a different note > more neutral than anything else, however I've been down here for about 10 > years now, so that has a lot of influence.
