Heh.<BR/><BR/>There are varying differences between provinces but they are slight--not as much as you will find across states in the US.

"Wooder" is how us Philadelphians say "Water."<BR/><BR/>The thing is, my Philly accent is only thick when I'm around other Philly peeps. I've lived in so many different places that I think I have a conglomeration of accents really! I was born in Louisville, Kentucky (really pronounced "Lawlville"), and I had a very very thick southern accent when I was little. There's this Christmas video from our family where my brother puts a lampshade on his head, and I say, "Hey muther! Look ayut (at) thuh layamphayud!" (lamphead...) It's pretty funny...<BR/><BR/>Then I lived in St. Louis for 4 years - no real accent there, but they do use a few different words. There is no pop vs. soda debate there - they say "Soda Pop"! After that, I lived in a small town outside of Cleveland - not much of an accent there either, but again, some different words.<BR/><BR/>Philly/South Jersey has a very thick accent - and I've picked it up over the last 15 years I've lived here. But frankly, I think I'd pick up any accent whereever I am - Helen said by the time I left England, I sounded like a true brit. The other night, the guy I'm dating was over, and I kept calling Tony a "nutter", and he said, "Hey! Nutter is very British - I read it in this one book." I didn't even think of it as a Brit term - I guess I picked it up from listening to Helen talk!<BR/><BR/>Does that mean I have a malleable accent? haha Maybe I'll record a little podcast one of these days, and people can hear mhy thick Philly accent - I have to pretend I'm talking to my friends here! haha Think "Rocky" - "Yo Adrienne!" ;)<BR/><BR/>Since I've lived here longer than anywhere else in my life, I guess I consider myself as "from Philly" at this point - this area has rubbed off on me the most in terms of speaking - it is definitely a unique accent!<BR/><BR/>Carrie :)NeoNurseChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120931307124798416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-12262412121096323722007-07-04T14:56:00.000-04:002007-07-04T14:56:00.000-04:00In my neck of the woods, if you don't aks someone ...In my neck of the woods, if you don't aks someone to turn off the wooder, the zinc would overflow.<BR/><BR/>Hey, I spent a few years in Pittsburgh, where "youse guys" would be "all yins".

I actually like it. I'm also one of those girls into all the weird and geeky things. Your topics are always very interesting. I actually think you should talk more. <BR/><BR/>If you really want to convince us that Dinah is the big talker of the group, why don't you make one podcast "The Dinah Show" and have her talk the whole time? Then I would believe that she is a talker.<BR/><BR/>Here is another idea...for the next podcast, why doesn't Roy time how long everyone talks? Then you would have actual proof of who talks more. Or even time some random previous podcasts. I need data and proof that Dinah talks the most. I just don't believe it. ;-)<BR/><BR/>And so everyone knows...I think Dinah's and Clink's voices sound very different because of their accents. I don't see why people are having such a hard time telling them apart after so many podcasts. At the beginning was hard, but now it's very easy. If you can't tell them apart, you obviously haven't listened to enough podcasts.
