      I think when people say that, they mean they believe they have what they consider to be the "standard American accent". I'm guilty of it myself. I've said that before because I felt mines wasn't attached to a certain area or region.
      Even when people say they have a certain accent, I find it kind of hard to notice. The differences throughout the entire country is pretty subtle to me besides certain ones that are thicker than most like the stereotypical NY or Southern accent.

    One of the big challenges is accents aren't staying the same *at all* in many places.
    Take California, for example. Most people who live there were born on the other side of the Rockies, or in another country entirely. So the accent that results is a mix of many, many different accents and it's taking an entire generation to solidify into something new!

    We definitely draw out our “R’s” , “A’s” and “O’s” more in the Midwest. I’ve also noticed we tend to really stress the “ar” and “er” sound at the end of a word almost to the point of sounding Gaelic, at least in Minnesota. “Car” often sounds like “caer.”

      @@joeyedmond6587 Correct, but some of the States' accents are lost with increased inter-connection. For example here in the UK where I live, in the 1950s many people in parts of the country spoke in more regional accents, with certain phrases and forms of grammar dating back to Middle English, but not used in Standard English. I read a story of a child during WWII who left London during the Blitz, to a small town in Northern England, and heard completely unique forms of pronunciation and grammar, which were leftovers of the more complex grammar structure English had in the past. When he visited the town again a few years ago, he couldn't find anybody who spoke like they used to.

    There’s something to be said for the wide variety of accents in America. One phenomenon I’ve noticed that I haven’t really heard when looking at English accents in other countries is the African American accent that developed and covered almost the entire continent with their own variations within other regional accents. I don’t know if it’s a taboo topic to bring up, but I never hear it talked about in any accent videos. I think it’d be interesting to learn the history of how it developed and continues to evolve.
