I read the article on Accents and Dialect. It was rather interesting, it brought me to the realisation that people will often judge and be judged depending on their accent and choice of dialect. Furthermore, people from different geographical, native locations will often despise each other, as they will believe that their own group or culture is the centre of everything - that their accent is the 'norm'. I have also learned that the simple feature of your accent, can determining a person's entire opinion of you, ranging from personality to even attractiveness.
