Re: Does anyone speak "American" anymore
Stink,I'm way ahead. Round here there several dialects. A few being; Geechee, Gullah, Daufuskie,Beaufort, the plain ole kuntry twist on any of these and lets not forget the social speach pattern that can be distinguished as either Augusta or Macon.
I unknowingly amazed one fellow (african american) worker by carring on a conversation with another (african american). When it was over the other guy asked, "how in the hell could you understand him,
I'm black and couldn't pick out three words he said"?
I just said "he's either from Beaufort or Daufuskie, that's the way they talk".
He went up to the guy, asked him where he was from and the responce was "just outside Beaufort".
