[quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, if we all spoke Standard American English all the time, in every circumstance, language would be really boring.[/quote] I don't think you understand what 'Standard American English' is. There's isn't just one 'standard'. What's standard in New York isn't necessarily standard in LA. Vocal fry is an affectation, not an accent. The way I speak in a professional environment is not how I speak at home in the DC area and how I speak in my midwestern hometown also different. Yet, I speak 'Standard American English' in each environment. https://www.pbs.org/speak/seatosea/standardamerican/[/quote]
