You say that if there is only one "American" accent. (by which you are obviously excluding all of Canada) There are 3 major different accents in the US (southern is the most recognizable, but the north and the middle are different), and each one has many many sub accents. Its not as bad as England where some people can tell which block you live on by your accent, but a good ear can guess which state someone lives in, with a typical error of being off by the by the next state over. Linguists study this. It is a interesting subject, though I'm not sure if it has any use. (There are other subjects that linguists study there are more useful, but overall I find them less interesting)
You're quite right, there are a whole bunch of American accents. I'm familiar with the Southern accent. In Canada we have a few different accents too: there's the east coasters and the quebecois, both of which are very distinct.
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. ~Stephen Roberts

LOL - did you write this ? It's just as funny as the original. But you can't seriously tell me there's a difference between Canadian and US accents ? Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer
