I was hoping that he would talk about Canadian accents, including Standard Canadian and Atlantic Canadian. "Standard Canadian" subgroups include Pacific Northwest, Aboriginal Canadian, Inland (Prairie), Ontarian, and Quebecois (though it sounds similar to Parisian). "Atlantic Canadian" subgroups include Lunenburg, Maritimer, and Newfoundland. Newfoundland English is the most difficult to understand as the speech rate is usually fast and its vocabulary is much different than the rest of Canada due to its Irish, Southwest English, and Bristol influences.

I'm a foreigner studying the English language as a second language for years because I always loved the sound of it. I like all English accents but the American English accent is favorite. I love listening to my American friends speaking it 😊

I would absolutely LOVE if Erik made a video breaking down the accent performances of all the TF2 mercs! They're such a varied and iconic cast with iconic voices and it would be fun to see someone picking the performances apart!

Isn't Eric tired of carrying wired on his back all these years?

As a native North Carolinian, his NC accent was actually spot on. That was as good as the accent gets for a typical North Carolinian. Obviously, the more country you get in NC the thicker the accent but his accent was a perfect representation of the majority of NC.

I really, really loved the deeper dive into different AAVE. I'm not sure if that's the proper term, but I wasn't expecting it, and I found it so interesting, and I'm so glad to have learned more about it.

Coming here to say that too-the Boston accent is difficult because everyone thinks you just drop the R and call it day. There’s an “AH” sound in a lot of the words where one wouldn’t think. One example is job being pronounced as “jawb”. Hard to explain to non-native New Englanders lol.

As a North Carolinian with Lumbee family this is awesome to hear the in depth NC accents

One interesting thing I picked up is that the only time I could really tell he wasn't speaking an accent natively was when he was doing the "piney woods" accent that I grew up speaking (we just called it general southern when I studied linguistics in college). I'm curious if it was the same way for speakers of the other dialects where you might be able to tell someone is doing it (very well) as an affectation.

Wired out here getting Erik Singer to say “I like to lick ‘em” AND then later actually lick his finger on camera. Single-handedly saving the union. Thank you for your service.

I did phone (tech) support for a few years and I could start to identify people's locations by their accents. I love linguistics and this is an amazing thing to watch.
