Impressive picture there.......
@Taken Interesting point there about "style" of speaking rather than believability.............American Culture...is strange in itself.
If a person is born and raised in one state, they rival and make fun of their neighboring states....or any other states...and visa versa.
It’s like little groups of states have their own Cultures...dialects, food prepping, music, slang, sports teams, politics favoring, etc.
* The north east, The southern east, the northern, the southern, the north west, the southern west, the northern mid-west, the southern mid-west...Alaska, Hawaii...and the Territories.
* A person born and raised in one state can get “culture shocked”, traveling about all the different states, mingling with long standing people of that state.
* (The last several decades of “foreign invasion” has greatly impacted every state’s own culture.)
* Story telling is not about believability but rather “style” of “speaking”.
A foreigner Listening to American “soap operas”, “news stations”, “movies” etc. (pretty much all sound the same)... and a foreigner doesn’t really see it hear all the different states “range of American Cultures”.

@Rita Same with local churches.I do hear a few differences in some of the accents, but not many and the only kind of American accent I would associate with a certain state/ states is the Deep South accent. As for the culture , I totally get that there would be differences because we have the same and we are such a small country. Obviously there are difference between Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England, but within England we have different counties , different accents, different slang words and different attitudes ect. There is also a north/ south divide.
Humour is also different, British humour varies from American …………
The adverts as well…..why do Americans have to shout in your face to get you to buy things !! Lol

When I was in Alaska, I talked to a lady in a store who was not happy with former Governor Sarah Palin. I do wonder if there was something going on there which wasn't simply linked to the McCain-Palin ticket..............
