Not too long ago I was able to meet some genuine FoLCs. Real people with faces and voices, if you can imagine such a thing. Therefore, many different accents.
And the one that really stood out for me was that MidWestern 'Oh, we don't have any accent at all' accent.
Oh yeah, the 'Accent Convention'.
But there we had two MidWesterners. "Don't you think we have the same accent?" Lynn asked us of Kathy and herself. "Um... you each sound completely different," replied we non-North Americans.
