I see!

I found that the differences between different North American accents and vocabulary are no near as great as the regional accents and vocabulary one can hear in the British Isles. To my amazement I've recently heard two people from different Southern counties in England, plain people who earn a living through a very old trade -one of them fished eels with wicker traps- and their accents were remarkably similar to those of the folks one may find in the Appalachians, and very different to the plethora of accents that one associates with English people and Welsh.
