>heard her say nu-cu-lar... Disappointing>
It is disappointing when people don’t understand the background of dialects. Some words and dialects in
your state would be very different in other parts of the
U.S. and thought strange because most people don’t have a
clue on this history.
Sarah speaks an upper MidWest and a bit of Canadian thrown in.
Most people who start in on speech should have a background in the knowledge of dialects of the various areas of the U.S. and where they originate.
New Englanders of many generations speak archaic English.
They use a patern and words mostly from 16th Cen. England
and in most cases not spoken as much in Eng. today.
In the Appalachian area, they speak a form of Scotch-Irish
with a bit of old english.
The TideWater area also speaks archaic forms of English.
According to a program I watched the US has over 165 different dialects spoken accross it. They illustrated these dialects by talking to people in various states, cities, towns, etc. all across the Nation.
One segment had three men, sitting on a porch, on some semt remote New England island, speaking what sounded like English, but I could’t understand a word they said...
Sarah’s english to me, a left coaster, is easier on the ears than the dialectic english spoken in parts of New Jersey......LOLOLOL
Hey, maybe she said it so that the press could run with it, or even someone in the 0bama admin could criticize her...and then she’d have a good reason to quote him on “corpseman.” :)
