Based on your answers, this is more for southern part of America? Is this correct? I will try to take more notice about what state my clients are in when they say "Yes ma'am" to me.
Also, is there such thing as a "black" accent? (Sorry if it is offensive. I don't know how to describe the accent more properly.) Sometimes, I hear people with accents that are like rappers. I don't watch too much television so it is hard for me to know, but white rappers like Eminem do not have this "black" accent. Is that accent also regional so people with different skin colours living in the same area have that accent? Or is it exclusively for just particular skin colours?
I am actually thinking of putting a map in my office and putting coloured pins on it to mark what people in a certain location have what accent. I wish I did the same at my old job, but it was only one province and those Canadians spoke similarly.
