Interesting about the Dutch and German influence on our speech. I have not heard
about that theory yet. I would like to read more on it. I know the Pennsylvania Dutch
have a sharp German accent. I also know of a town in upstate New York where their
speech is "dutchified" whenever they speak English.

J, I have heard Bob Dylan, but that is when he is singing when he sounds "nasal."
I think that any place where there was a sifnificant German/Dutch migrant population,
you will find a different accent spoken today in the same areas.

Most Americans sound nasal, bar some East-coasters, but they sometimes pronounce
their 'r', and have rather different accent, cf. Bostonian. I know it must be hard
to hear the nasal sound but it is there!

I like American women. Their accent is sexy. A dirty talk of a woman with the American
accent in the bedroom is a big turn on. I don't know why but the British accent is
a bit too stuffy in the bedroom.
