Talking

Everybody talks.
Everywhere.
All over the world people talk.
Every single day.

They all sound different too. I don't mean their voices though. I mean their dialect, their accents. Haven't you ever wondered WHY? I was wondering just the other day, "why do hillbillies talk like that?" When the English came to America, they all had English accents. So why do southerners have the accent they do? Why do hillbillies or rednecks have that 'hick' accent? As a matter of fact, why do Australians have the accent they do? They speak English, why does it sound different? Why do New Yorkers have an accent? It's not an East Coast thing because they have a totally different accent in Maine. And what about the folks in say, Wisconsin? Eh? Why?

Well, if you're interested or curious, this is a really good explanation;
