Episode notes
If you could go back in a time machine say 75 years ago, the way a New Englander sounded was radically different from the way somebody sounded in Atlanta. There are differences in today's American English but you have to dig to find a lot of them beyond cute little things like soda and pop. No dialects are not diverging unless once again I've missed something because I am a little bit overstretched But in this case I doubt it. Does black English say soda or pop? It depends on where you are because black people are white.
