So, I'm watching "How The States Got Thier Shapes", and it's speaking on accents and slang.
One of the things that they brought up was a speech training to make people with accents sound more normal. This is for jobs, I assume they're taking calls and what not.
So, with that said, do you have an accent or do you speak "normal"? If you have an accent, have you had to go through some kind of speech training for your job? If so, how did you feel?
If not, would you?

I have a heavy country accent.
Your accent doesn't always effect the ability for someone to comprehend what you are saying.
People from different regions tend to pronounce some words different, but I see no issue or why one would need to go through that if you can understand what they are saying.
There is a difference in having an accent and speaking incorrect English. -
I aint think I had one till I went other places

We have the "accent with no accent", you probably hate the slang out here. -

Accents are strange, I think a heavy Louisiana bayou accent is the most hardest to decipher.
I think it's also neat that one word can be said so many ways. -

Inb4 "everyone has an accent"
I just speak clearly. I know I don't sound like the extreme ppl from my city.
Every major city and every region as a whole has its different levels. Some ppl are extreme and can't help it, others not so much although select words may still come out with an obvious accent. -
I pretty much spoke the Queens English as a kid. Everyone said I had a white accent.

You've never been in the right part of LA, then.
I hate Mexican slang and accents, that "wassup fool" ? is annoying. Everyone and thing is a fool.. "Nah fool.." -
So, if you hear someone from Cali talk, do they have an accent to you?

I think you are thinking about the Louisiana Cajun accents they are hard to decipher at times oddly enough I don't run across to many of them.
Most people here have a country or slow talking accent.
? is mad weird when I meet people from from other regions for the first time and they looking at me sideways.
After being around me for a little while they get use to it and its not as obvious anymore. -
Dope show.
But yeah, everybody got an accent. If you think you ain't got one, you're stupid. -

I've moved between the US and Trinidad so many times that my Trini and US accents kinda mixed together. People tell me I talk proper because of that
-
I'm good @ pinpointing where someone's accent comes from though. N.O., Cali, Texas, DC, BMORE, Philly, WiSCOHHHNSIN, ATL, NYC, T&T, and Jamaica are all obvious.
