Help[Opinions] Re: Hunter
in reply to a message by insane romantic
I pronounce the "T", but I do know people who say "Hun'er". They don't live anywhere near me though. I met them when I was visiting my aunt in the Southern US.

These people were from South Carolina. I don't know where that is though!

Ah, well people in the south (if you look at a map, it's on the east coast, third up from the south - Florida, Georgia, and then SC) pronunce things a little differently. It's actually a big thing some comedians focus on here. I'm sure every country experiences this to some degree, but different parts of the US pn or use different words due to the culture of the area. Accents from areas also play a big role. Someone from the east coast will talk different than someone from the south, which will both think the midwestern accent is weird, not to mention throwing in someone from the west...
Hope this helped a little.

OK thanks :) There are definitely regional accents here but probably not as many because it's obviously a smaller country

Hehe, yep. Which makes me wonder when people from outside the US refer to an "American accent." However, we're totally guilty of that too, as we refer to "English" or "British" accents (even though I can mostly tell the difference between the regional accents.) :)
