Social scientists estimate the number of U.S. dialects range from a basic three - New England, Southern and Western/General America - to 24 or more . Some researchers go so far as to suggest it's actually impossible to count the number of dialects in the United States because under a loose definition of the term, thousands of cities, towns and groups have their own varieties or dialects.

I didn't know that.
I will check to see the names they have given those dialects of the other 24.

Well, they weren't real specific.

In that case, I can type and/or speak any dialect I choose.

Or, are there any off limits to certain groups?

Some of my own posts been alleged of having racist connotations just because I related my thoughts in an english dialect.

That's all.

understandable, its not as obvious in the forum of why a dialect would change seemingly according to the topic, instead of the audience(which hasnt changed)

I am a free American.
As long as I go along the guidelines of this site, I am free to change my dialect whenever I choose.

Just like Hussein.

I, however, don't need a screen in front of me telling me what to say.

Funny thing. How many times has he used that accent?

I am Southern. Raised 50 miles from NO. Ain't never heard that fake accent there in my entire life.

He sounds rather stupid.

of course you are free to change your dialect

noone said otherwise

I only responded to why it is perceived as racist

not all southern people use the same dialect anymore than all northerners do and I dont personally think his dialect sounded so terribly diffferent from his normal speech


as to sounding stupid,, well, thats a perception that probably passes through many minds when reading some of the 'dialect' used in these forums from time to time,,,
