It’s amazing to me to hear the shift in American accents over time. I’ve very recently listened to some home videos of my mother talking in the early 80s and her accent is similarly different in the way that they all were then. To me when I hear it everyone sounds like they’re from a Woody Allen movie in their speech patterns. It’s not just word pronunciation, but also the cadence that has changed. I’d love to know how/why that happens.
