hat tip to Phlegmfatale.
"They" say--or used to--the "the average" American accent, the equivalent, I guess of the BBC's "Received Standard English"--except that that accent isn't actually spoken off the telly-- was spoken in Detroit, in the suburb of Livonia, to be precise.
I dunno. But I still refer to "generic carbonated beverages" as "pop." (A "soda" is "pop" with ice cream in it.)
Note: The clue is that all of those words sound differant, except "Mary, merry, marry."
