I'm glad I posted this thread. I've learned a lot of fascinating stuff!

Who knew that such a relatively small island like Newfoundland could have so many diverse accents?

That is why I posted. Knew Archie would fill in the nitty gritty.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

The accent used in the musical "Come From Away" is purely fictitious and sounds weird to us


Imagine if a full fifteen percent of Canadian media had an invented sort-of-sounds-like Newfie fake accent and you'd understand how it feels to be an American Southerner.

It ranges from "hey, not a bad try" to "What the hell are they trying to do?"



While The Walking Dead usually falls in the former, the woman they have playing Alpha is really butchering whatever accent she's trying for.

It's like she's imitating what would happen if the harsh drawl of Corbin Kentucky had a baby with the tones of western Tennessee...except it has some sort of genetic birth defect.



The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
