Why the World Is Still Not Built for Women | Virginia Santy | TED
Design consultant Virginia Santy set out to create an office space built specifically for women, flipping the script on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways that workplaces and cities still fail them. The results were striking: greater productivity, deeper collaboration and an environment where women felt genuinely valued, leading her to ask a simple question: What…

@Chrono Gamer in what way ??I thought south London was like the original English but it’s still considered an accent to others,have you left the Midwest ??I guarantee in London everyone would say you have an accent

@Србомбоница ???????? Do you know what a Midwest accent sounds like? Maybe you are confusing it Southern or something else ,:)

I’m not familiar with American accents, but in France Parisians have gotten their accent to be considered standard, and it doesn’t change the fact that to every other French person they have an accent.

Still an accent
Michael R
May 6, 2023 at 1:20 am
@sub-harmonick I don’t think I have enough of a background in linguistics to answer that accurately. But the intonation, vernacular (which may be an issue I’d dialect rather than accent), etc. are different. Also, California has any number of accents within the state. Surfers in LA don’t sound like people in San Francisco and people in the Sierra Nevada mountains don’t sound like either.
sub-harmonick
May 6, 2023 at 2:16 am
@Michael R sure, I’m not talking about valley girls, surfers, and maybe central valley (tho don’t know much about that one)
but everyone else pretty much has the same one that is pretty similar among a lot of the western states imo, and pretty much the same as what is considered the ‘standard american accent’.
Not counting accents of other sub-groups.
and saying ‘hella’ more isn’t an accent imo.
Michael R
May 6, 2023 at 2:50 am
@sub-harmonick the “standard” American accent originated in the non-coastal northeast and Great Lakes region
sub-harmonick
May 6, 2023 at 3:05 am
@Michael R even if it originated there, the accents have changed in those regions while speakers in california, nebraska, arizona, washington, oregon, etc. have continued speaking that way.
Maybe I’m incorrect that ‘californians’ specifically have gotten their accent considered standard, but the accent that they speak is considered standard.

God this is the simplest thing to understand and yet people insist on saying “I don’t have an accent.” That’s like saying you don’t have an ethnicity.
