>How about Kentucky and Texas? OK, point taken!>> Good. I thought at first I might have come off snotty, and I didn't intend to do so. Point was simply that it would be harder for an American to distinguish between regional British accents, as it would be hard for someone from England to distinguish between say, Michigan and Ohio. As a native Michiganian, the main difference I notice between MI and my current residence of Pennsylvania is more of phrasing--PA says soda, Michigan calls it pop. And I don't recall ever hearing a waitress in MI asking if we "want your drinks a while till your food is ready?", or a Michiganian saying "youse guys".
