lol at throwing subs at parents of today. Are you also to blame the parents of yesterday for all the old regional accents that are dying now? :jbhmm:

AN ENTIRE REGION LOSING ACCENTS, LIKELY DO TO GENTRIFICATION OR MASS TRANSPLANTS TO/FROM DIFFERENT CITIES, IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN 1 PIG ON TV CHANGING YOUR KID'S WHOLE ACCENT.

My friend sent that to our group chat after her daughter watched it and we fell out. Never thought a cartoon would be that shady.

You're wrong. There's proof of all American accents being dulled into sounding more like the general American accents brought on by decades of mass media. Kids always learned to speak from everything around them, never just their parents.

they're not slick, they want their kids to have the accent and during the years when their child is absorbing the most info this is what they waste that valuable time on.

SIGH... 1 PIG SHOULD NOT HAVE MORE INFLUENCE THAN EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND THEM COMBINED. NOT ENOUGH TO CHANGE AN ACCENT. EVEN MOVING TO A WHOLE DIFFERENT REGION DOESN'T ALWAYS CHANGE A CHILD'S ACCENT.

IF THEY'RE IMITATING THE PIG THAT FINE. THAT HAPPENS. IF THEY'RE EVERYDAY ACCENT HAS CHANGE I WOULD WONDER ABOUT THAT. THAT'S WEIRD.

Kids influencing each other isn't a thing anymore either? How do you think slang starts? :jbhmm:
