You probably think it’s more common because Hollywood portrays the country that way. I’ve spent my life West Coast then the South then the Midwest, and I don’t think I know anyone who says sneakers. Not saying there aren’t any in these regions but I think they are a minority. Matter of fact I’m bilingual and grew up in Southern California. So I will tell you the tennis shoes thing isn’t just an English speakers thing there. I and all the Spanish and bilingual speakers I know whether speaking in English or Spanish called these shoes as tenis (pronounced like tenneys). Tenis is tennis in Spanish. I wonder what Spanish speakers in New York call them? Or Spanish speakers in Latin America? If you google zapatos tenis you will see what pops up.

Recently I read an article that lagniappe was the most mispronounced word in the US. the author claimed no one ever heard of it but I hear lagniappe all the time. So there are cultural differences. I know my family members are black Southerners and we have our superstitions. For example, we refer to evil spirits as haints. My grandfather had us kids scared of haints. There is a tradition in the South of painting houses a color called haint blue that is supposed to keep evil spirits away. This color, known as "haint blue," is associated with the Gullah Geechee people. These descendants of enslaved Africans in parts of Georgia and South Carolina have maintained a rich cultural heritage, and among their traditions was the belief that haint blue repels haints, or ghosts. The idea was that the color would trick haints into thinking the ceiling is either water or the sky. Haint blue was first used in Charleston during the early 1800s and continues to be popular today.

The other one I find funny is "dude" and "guys" which on the West Coast is absolutely usable for men, women, animals, inanimate objects, whatever; when I worked in Chicago I caught some crap for that usage in fact.

@@jeffmorse645 This is my opinion on this. I said that the Anglo Saxon white people must be the subject of her comment about Californians sounding just like they are from the Nebraska area. For one thing to say MOST Californians is problematic because Anglo white people are not the majority in California. They are like 35 percent. I lived in San Diego until I was 12. I always lived in very culturally diverse neighborhoods and went to diverse schools where most people. It’s not that likely that you can group people from many different backgrounds together and expect ZERO affect on their accents over time. I was taught state history. A lot of the towns including San Diego were established as mission towns in order to create indoctrinate, assimilate the natives into converting into Catholicism. This went on for centuries. We got this whole school history lesson about the benevolence of Padre Serra which is a whole other discussion. This could not have been done without also getting them into speaking the Spanish language. So some of those natives you speak of are also Spanish/Mexican and they along with an influx of Mexicans that came in starting into California around early 1900s made their mark on how we sound. I have an example in another comment that I’m currently in the Midwest and I struggle to not mispronounce the cities here because they way they pronounce them is totally unnatural for me. They say Salina as Sa lie na and El Dorado as El Do Ray Do. The list goes on. And even in general conversation I notice a difference in how they tend to say vowels. So as someone who has lived in California and currently lives in Kansas which is right next to Nebraska, I do NOT feel the people here have the exact same accent I do. It’s not light years apart but not identical. I noticed the people here can’t tell I’m not a local, however, when I meet someone from San Diego they can usually tell immediately by my accent without me telling them where I’m from. I listen to rhythm, timbre, where raised inflection falls which also creates accent. California also ran a segregated school system back in the day that had to be struck down through court proceedings. One these school districts’ defenses at trial to segregation was claiming these children had limited English proficiency skills. If pretty much everyone spoke English like a Nebraskan that would make no sense. The reality was these children spoke both Spanish and English as do I. I’m not Hispanic. Unless they live in a white bubble I don’t see sounding like Nebraskans. When the Anglophones went into Louisiana and English became the dominant language there where still leftovers from the French accent that remained even in the way English was spoken. That’s my thoughts.

I had picked up on that very thing about Christina’s speech pattern and have commented on it in several prior videos. It’s very noticeable IMO so I don’t get why people on here don’t hear speech differences between the ways many of the Americans who come one the channel. She often doesn’t pronounce the T in the middle of words like fountain, important, and so on. I’m American and like Von I always pronounce this t in similar ones like curtain, sentence, straighten, kitten. People talk about Brits dropping t in the middle of words but some Americans with accents like Christina’s do also. All accents are fine but I have noticed when I tell people who do this I don’t consider them to speak with the so-called “Standard American/Newscaster accent” or that there is a difference in how they speak some have become upset with me. Like a lot of people drop g at the end of ing but in the News business we can’t speak like this on air. There is no difference between dropping that end g and dropping a middle t. Either way is not fully enunciating. There is a woman who runs a channel called Rachel’s English or something to that effect who was instructing ESL learners not to pronounce the t in these types of words so that they would sound like native American English speakers. This pissed off a lot of Americans because she suggested those of us who don’t have this accent aren’t or don’t sound like native speakers. It would have been more appropriate to say it’s optional.

Maybe. I would be curious to know what part of California she is from. I think the California accent where I’m from is a hybrid and depends on culture. I spent most of my childhood on the Southern border where most people were bilingual which I think affects our accent. I’m currently in the Kansas and they can’t tell a difference in my accent and think Im from here. However, I can hear a difference in their accent. I noticed them leaving out syllables that I don’t and pronouncing vowels in ways I don’t. For example there is a city named Salina that I constantly mispronounce because it feels unnatural to me how they say it. When I told people that they said “you’re probably from California”. I noticed the California lady here said y’all where most people I grew up around were a you guys kind of people.

@@JosephOccenoBFH Yes. The people are okay but not the weather. As someone who grew up in SoCal I would instinctively pronounce Paulina as Pah Lee Nah. And Salina as Sa Lee Na. But they say Sa Lie Na. They also say El Do Ray Do which sounds unnatural to me as a Californian because I would instinctively say El Do Rah Do. I’m not saying I’m right and they are wrong but that it’s a cultural difference that inclines us into different directions. I don’t pronounce Merry, Mary and Marry the same way but a lot of people here do. I detect a difference in the way people pronounce their vowels and notice they tend to elongate their vowels. I’ve even caught myself elongating my vowels so I think they are rubbing off on me. 😂

I'm from Guatemala 🇬🇹 and studied for two months in Vermont. I had the opportunity to listen to the northeastern accent and even I got a phase that I like very much, "have a good one". Then when visiting LA it was a totally different experience. People talk faster, buying fast food was a mess for me 😅😅😅. Not only in the US you get these difference im accents, Guatemala is a small country and depending on the region you are visiting they have their own accent. It's like you know when someone is from Guatemala City. I think accents are part of our identity.

This was a fun video! I especially loved seeing Christina again and I love her outfit and boots!! As for the accent challenge, the California girl said Crayons pretty much the same way I say Crayons (she said "Craons") and I'm from the Chicago area. In the inland north of the USA, there's a type of accent or slight accent called the "northern cities vowel shift" and some just call it the inland northern accent. It spans from Upstate New York all the way to Minnesota, including Chicago. I'd love for this KZitem channel to do a video on the northern cities vowel shift, maybe do like a reaction video and they can learn about it and try talking that way!
