It's true for the modern age, too. There is almost always some kind of slant, some kind of agenda, some bias, all in the name of objectivity, too. I've studied various kinds of history, but American history more than anything. The Civil War, for example, is so over-simplified in many of the textbooks that it isn't always what I'd call accurate. Often there is a "real story" behind the one that's officially presented. However, unless you find some way to dig up the truth for yourself through painstaking research (and hopefully courses, too,) the truth may always remain elusive. Having said that, I believe the pendulum is swinging back in the other direction and there is more accuracy now than, for example, twenty or thirty years ago. Of course, this is strictly my opinion, my own observations.
WTF is opiniona? Wish there was spell check on here ;D
... except my twin brother and I are adopted...
I was lost with the first reply. I think one would have to be a student of history to understand if one had not lived with it.
I suspect many of us Yanks feel like everyone in the domain of Great Britain are essentially "English with different funny accents."
And I also suspect it works the other way around for non-Yanks who try to differentiate between the accents of people from New York, Minnesota, Alabama, Texas and California.
Yup. After 13 years in Texas I can tell at least four different accents attributable to various regions of Texas. I'll bet Sniper could do better than that.

With that deep east Texas group, just keep counting the syllables. The more you hear, the closer to Loo-zeeanna.
