Youse have two accents, American and Southern.
Britain has a new accent every 20cm.
A Boston accent is different from a New York accent, is different from a Missouri accent, is different from a Mississippi accent, is different from a Florida accent, is different from a Texas accent, is different from an Oklahoma accent, etc. Even within states, it fully depends on how rural you live, whether you went to college… hell, even your tax bracket in some cases.
I say this as an Australian that grew up in America: the sheer size of the place is enough to have something like fifty regional accents per state. Like everything with the US: it’s fucking insane.
Hell even different NYC accents: Queens, Brooklyn, ...
Tell that to someone from Bawston lol, the US has way more than 2 accents for sure. UK does have a lot though, not sure who actually has more. Let's find a linguist!
That's not even counting the farts!
Oh, they're beyond number.
Don't forget the jersey one.
There's a dozen Southern accents alone.
Lmao to me Britain has two accents, Scottish and English. The rest sound the same. Y'all think your accents are so special to the point where it gets cringe sometimes.
