Depends of region OP. There are many dialects that influences the way a person speaks. Its not uncommon to have several distinct ones in one country.
Quoting: TheRealRebel I am well aware of that. I think the reason the valley girl accent became dominant in English was what the Red Hot Chili Peppers pointed out in 1999. There was no way to stop Californication. [ link to youtube.com (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83737306 I always took that song as a warning. Now I think it may have been subliminal programming to promote Californication. Dream of Californication They repeat that over and over. Looking back, it's very much like the movie They Live if the song was meant to be subliminal programming. GLP started in 1999 (the same year that song was released), and the things mentioned in that song are right out of GLP.
