I would be impressed if he ate it and then managed to put his penis in it. Yet disgusted if he put his penis in it and then ate it.

Accents are not region bound, although in some cases yes. Accents are mainly nation bound! If you want to go against the dictionary definition, make your own!

What? You say they aren't region bound, then you say "although in some cases yes". That would mean that some accents are region bound, which is all I'm saying.

So by your logic, everyone in the entire nation of the United States of America speaks the exact same way? There is no southern, midwestern, Boston, or New York accent? Do you really think that people from California speak like everyone from the movie Fargo? Have you ever been outside of northern Europe? Every single region of Italy has a different accent, as well as Spain, France, Germany, Austria, and almost every other country on the face of the planet big enough to have different regions. In Brazil they speak Portugese but it's not exactly the same as in Portugal. They have a different accent AND different dialect as well.

Are you basing your entire argument over one single line in the dictionary? This isn't rocket science, man. This is common sense. Different regions have different customs and that includes different ways of speaking the same language. As you pointed out earlier, in some extreme cases such as Italy, the dialects can also be radically different, but this isn't the case for everyone. Accents are no exception. Speak with someone from Madrid and then speak with someone from Barcelona and you'll see that the accent is different. Speak with someone from Paris and then speak with someone from Nice and you'll hear a different accent. Speak with someone from Rome and speak with someone from Milan and you'll hear a different accent.

Where's the disconnect here? Why is this such a debate?

Ball hair!

PSST, keep in mind, everyone standing underneath me, is under mistletoe, and must be kissed by the next poster. IN any thread I post in.

 

[Captain Beard]

I'll kick the next person in the penis then. I'm wearing shiny boots.

 

[Dead Winter]

Now we put this shit to rest:





This one's kinda funny, though


Here's a hilarious clip of the Veneto dialect as well as accent...I understand about 5 words of everything because he's speaking in dialect, not Italian

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzDGIc41d2Q&feature=related[/ame]

Kobe Bryant speaks Italian pretty damn well...even his accent isn't that noticeable. Notice the clarity when he speaks in respect to Veneto in the previous one, which sounds like they're singing drunk all the time



Although Monica Bellucci is from Rome, she really doesn't have a Roman accent...she's pretty well spoken

 

[Morganna]

Dead Winter, Pucker up and kiss David. He's standing under the mistletoe. heheheh! Penis kick or not, it's your turn.

 

[Dead Winter]

David, would a nice, firm handshake do instead?

Accents are regional bound, as well as dialects, only accents are differences in pronunciation and dialects can have a completely different grammar structure and vocabulary.

WTF no!

An accent is when the primary language influences your speaking of a secondary language. It's defensible that when a dialect influences the language, this could also constitute an accent but only if the speaker is attempting to use standard variant of the language, and the nonstandard variant he is used to (id est, his dialect) influences his pronunciation of standard language.

A dialect is the non-standard pronunciation and lexicality of the same language as the standard one, but the non-standard use of the language stems from regional differences.

Fuck, DW, it's not that difficult!
