Here, here now ... a little history lesson;

What people left what nation speaking what language and colonizing where ... first.

Knock out the minutia (sp?), and we don't talk ridic ... you HEAR ridic because of YOUR ridic accents.

i LOVE accents! and i’m from Pittsburgh, managed to lose mine, but can put one on just fine to sound like the natives ; ) we speak Pittsburghese upon occasion in the classroom, bc Soother and Explorer and i are all from the Burgh....

First colony was in Virginia.
