It’s sad that we’re losing dialects. It’s a loss of culture, and sadly, most of us now sound like Californians.

Bummer, dude.

LOL. Agree 100%.

The dude abides.

Back in I think the late 60’s in a history/culture class, our teacher said our area of the country around the Grate Lakes was the only area considered not to have a unique accent/dialect. I was secretly thinking, “what about California?” When I lived and waitressed in New Jersey they used to mock my accent, like theirs was so much better, lol. Funny how life will teach one how much they learned in school was pretty much garbage. Three hours away from me was the land of Pittsburghese. Yeah, right, I had no accent. I’m married to a native Californian now. He definitely doesn’t have an accent.
