Yeah, can't watch that. Shiver. Your talking about the one in the Louisiana swamp, where they give subtitles? I love those crazy accents. The most country Floridian accent can't touch that level of incomprehensibly.

I like the accents as well. Hilarious how they add subtitles to that show. I can usually understand them. There are few accents in Canada, on the east side; I can't understand them very well. Accent combined with a lot of local slang. It's own language basically.

I have a bit of trouble understanding the Eastern US the farther north too.

A Canadian moved in near me recently. She had a Canadian flag on her porch so I developed expectations. But she basically sounds like me when I'm making an effort to speak clearly. Occasionally she has a word with a different sound and I think - there it is! Lol. I was overall very disappointed.

I had a friend who lived in Ohio. Her accent was thick. I didn't know they sounded like that, there, until I met her.

Apparently our North American voices are becoming more standardized. It's a shame. Hopefully those Ohioians will carry on the torch.

I can imagine a person from Ohio yelling at me in a thick accent about how "Ohioian" isn't the correct term...
