Good job for repeating what I said.

Dialect and accent is like the same thing, except accent is part of dialect because dialect is the pronounciation, grammar, and spelling. And don't tell it to me, tell it to the quiz.

Quote from accent
Such a mode of pronunciation recognized as being of foreign origin
One might consider a different region as being foreign :P

I remember my Freshman Earth Science teacher was from Yonkers, New York and she had a funny name for the pencil sharpener, it always smashed your knuckles against the platform it was secured to, she called it the "Knuckle Bustah". I lol'd every time she said it.

Again you are wrong. You said they are like the same thing. They are similar as in mispronouncaitions like you said, but accent isn't part of dialect and accent is a person of speaking another language and mispronouncing words. They are different. I'm sorry for arguing over small things, but thats the way I am.

This reminds me, I work with a lot of people who have southern accents and it annoys me every time they say ´worsh instead of wash´ or something like that.

Who pronounces words correctly?

Simple Test:

Ci-ty or Ci-dy?

Bat-tery or Bad-dery?

Arc-tic or Ar-tik?

Feb-ru-ary or Feb-uary?

Gov-er-nor or Gov-en-or?



None.

Feb 10 2009, 8:52 pm Demented Shaman Post #30



Oh I didn't realize there was a link to a test.

I just took it and I got Neutral. :)
Which American accent do you have?

My Results:


Neutral You`re not Northern, Southern, or Western, you`re just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don`t really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

I never said accent and dialect was the same thing. You should read what I type instead of overlooking things.

If you read, you stated, "Dialect and accent is like the same thing" and I said, "Again you are wrong. You said they are like the same thing."

Clearly you don't know english. Like does not mean exactly. It means it has similarities. I also stated further information after.

Neutral > Northern > North Eastern

I may have fudged some of the test, I tried to say the words and pronounce them properly rather then if they just came to me in a random conversation.
