When watching British television or movies I always find myself amazed at how many different accents there are in such a small space of land. In Alaska, where nearly 40 Britains can fit onto the mainlaind, we have about 5 dialects of English if you don't count the international ex-pats who make home here.

The interesting thing many people have pointed out about Alaska is that we meet many people from all over the world with every extreme accent one can imagine. So we get many opportunities to learn many different kinds of speech. Of course many of those who come here from around the world are running from the various international law enforcement agencies and therefore setting up an accent coaching session could end in gunfire or prison time.

...that's why I like the web I guess.
