Thread Name: BS: The Maine Accent
Subject: BS: The Maine Accent
I've heard that the Maine(USA) accent is quite similiar to a very old Cornwall accent,including an Elizabethian phrase or two that Shakespeare himself would have recognized. I'm a Mainer. I don't have much of a "Maine"accent myself but I know plenty who do. Is there any truth to this?
