[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. Americans don't use the word "posh" anyway. In every region of the country there are wealthy people, and they usually have the regional accents of where they live (unless they're transplants)... Southern accents, New England accents, New York, California, Midwest etc. [/quote] My parents are both white southerners from the same town. They and their families have very different accents from each other because my dad was upper class and my mom was poor and country. [/quote] Also, you see the same thing among African Americans in the same town. Some will speak with what I consider more of a black upper class accent. They own the funeral homes or are sometimes educators. Their accent is more like my dads. Then there are black people whose accents are more country. [/quote]
