this discussion comes about as i tried to explain to a american about nottingham accent.its spoken vocal sounds and such.
to a outsider our local speech/accent sounds a bit dumb/lazy.it is kinda slang/shorthand thing is do some accents actually hinder perception ?
do you have instances of your accent for eg that make you sound daft or even smarter ?
