[quote=Anonymous]I’m a bit confused by this statement in the Dwayne thread. Can you truly tell or is USA language more heavily influenced by region? Are there words that only “upper class” Americans use? Ex: Muffler > “Muffla” Joey in NJ and Rodney in Baltimore may both say “muffla” and be from two different racial and economic backgrounds. Two different classes but regional accents influence their pronunciation. [/quote]
