A.... dialect. A friend told me once I sound like I have an accent, but I'm pretty sure I don't. I come from potato land.
Anyone want to do my internet marketing homework? It's almost all finished, you just have to write some stuff and put things together.

mintedstar/fur🦇 Mine is just normal, United States English. I'm not like those people from UK who say "HAICH" instead of "AICH" for the letter "H". Whatever! Yeah otherwise, I've never had someone tell me what dialect I have, so I guess I speak like a normal american.

I'm from Toronto, and I guess I have a little regional quirks in my speech because of that. For instance: If you're from Toronto, you pronounce it "T'ronno" or "Turranuh". NOT "Tor-ON-To". If you do the latter it's a dead giveaway that you moved here, lmao.
We do say "eh", but not in every sentence as stereotypes would have you believe. Though to be fair, just the other day my stepdad said "it's cold out, eh?" and I think that's the most Canadian sentence I've ever heard.

Thank you for participating in my social study.
Everyone has a dialect. If you think you don't, then you have what's considered the 'standard' for the area you're in. Thank y'all.
My class is affecting my brain. I have way too much information about what language is and what it means. @.@ And I'm only one month in. Please save me.
----
Side note, I say Tor-On-Toe, so I imagine I've created some crime to the locals.
Speaking as someone from Cali, we tend to say 'Chill' as a form of 'Cool' or 'Great' which is apparently highly confusing to anyone not in Cali.

My dialect is more of what I would consider 'Americanized-Australian'. (Confirmed by my cousins American ex-girlfriend who said that our accent wasn't very strong).
You have the typical (we call it) 'Bogan Aussie accent' but that's really something you'd find in the older generation or country folk. I have an uncle who talks like the way Steve Irwin did, but no one my age does.
I would put it to the fact that nowadays we all grow up watching American television and youtubers and that's just what we've come to: a strange emulsion of the two.
If you heard me talk you would know I'm Australian, but it wouldn't sound very dramatic.
(BTW if you pronounce Aussie like 'Oos-si' or 'aw-si' you are saying it wrong, it is spoken like 'Ozz-ie'. I thought it was funny when I heard someone say the 'Oos-si' pronunciation)

No one says 'Mel-bourne' we say 'Mel-bin'. And Canberra isn't 'Can-ber-ra' it's just 'Can-bra'.
There's a place called 'Toronto' in Australia as well and yeah... we pronounce it like 'T'ronno'.

I never say "Chill" and I've grown up in CA my whole life. I actually prefer saying "Cool" or "Great" lol.

I'm not sure if this is a welcome post, but I saw that this is a student hub and wanted to poke my head in! I'm a recent college graduate ( associates, bachelors and a teaching certificate) and I just wanted to say that if anyone ever has questions about homework (specifically science or CTE, since that is what I teach) I would be happy to help! I know online learning has been really difficult for lots of students, so if there's any way I can help anyone I would be happy to do so! Even if it just someone to rant to for a while My students are learning about Protein Synthesis and DNA/RNA right now, which I think is such a fun unit to teach! If you're learning about that in school right now like my students are, I might be able to give you some homework help.
Basically, I am just a teacher here to help if anyone needs it I hope all the students here are taking time to relax when not in class. Remember that your mental health is so much more important than your grades!

I knew it was initials for something else, so I guess now I know.
International Phonetic Alphabet is what I'm learning in this case.
