di·a·lect

a regional variety of language distinguished by features of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation from other regional varieties and constituting together with them a single language
Dialect | Definition of dialect by Merriam-Webster

Dialect isn't limited to vocabulary. Your pronunciation is a result of your location, not from learning English secondary. Technically, Australian, cockney, British.....are all dialects of the English language, where French and Spanish people (for example, can insert any nationality) are speaking with accent.
Argentines speak dialect, completely different from Mexican or Central American... Dialects here too...

I messed up too with celebratory wishes. Happy Birthday to those and Happy Anniversary to others. Most important, I wish you all many more!
Happy Happy everyone!

May 23rd, 1 year from my heart attack, I've been vaping almost exclusively since then. Before that was on and off since 2009

I was at the beach yesterday with only my phone when I read this post with 2buildawall's mom's pics. Oh, I love this woman!!!! I want to BE her when I finish growing up!
The pics gave me such a smile, what an inspiration!
Thanks for posting them, 2buildawall, and give her a hug from me! :thumbs::thumbs:
Hang on to your "PUFFER" Mama, you are going places!

If you are from the South, you probably speak with what is popularly called a Southern accent. Your dialect will depend on what region of the South you are from. From Cajun and Creole in LA to Appalacian in Eastern Kentucky to the Gulf Southern dialect of Alabama and GA. There are many more Southern dialects but they are known collectively as a Southern accent. :)
In the south it's commonly called a "hot" water heater :)

YES! I always called it that... until I realized that hot water has no need of heating. :D

Actually, here in N. GA, it's more like appalachian, more of a "hillbilly" accent than it is further south -- we say our R's quite clearly, unlike S. GA, 'Bama, and the VA Tidewater accent. Lots of Irish and Scots emigrated (or were transported!) here, hence the hard R's.

There's an accent quirk in England I've always thought hilarious; they don't say R's AT ALL... unless there's a schwa sound (uhh or ahh) at the end of a word -- such as my own name! -- they'd pronounce it "AHN-dree-er" instead of "ANN-dree-uh". Never could understand that; obviously they're not unable to say R's, they stick 'em on the end of so many words... but they act like they're not even there, where they actually appear. :confused:

Thanks Deb. That wrap is "orion" from Vaporskinz. We switch them around fairly often, but these at keepers (for a while, at least). It's quite the colorful little bugger - goes with everything. :lol:

Thanks, Bike. I might (Idunno). I think I talk normal but...

SOME say that I do not. I guess, like much of what we do here in Vapeworld, it's all a matter of opinion. Ya? :)
Yep. I speak with a Southern drawl to different degrees, depending on who I'm around. But sometimes I speak standard, unflavored American English (when doing business or addressing a group, some job interviews, and sometimes around people who consider it unintellectual to speak in a normal untrained manner) I use the common pronunciation and grammar that I was raised with otherwise.
I need to find me some wraps for my mods. :) I gotta mix up some more juice til my MEM Day stuff gets here. I ain't goin without juice. :)
