3 Annoying questions Americans ask English people when they visit The USA...

SOFI may have made a dig at you, but you're so big headed that you managed fill 5 pages with crap.
Admittedly Ray spurred it along, but you need to learn when to say "Fuck it" and just leave it. I manage to ignore you alot, but there comes a point where some one has to say "Shut the fuck up".
You really need to listen to what I say, you have problems, get help. Surely you are at least smart enough to know that no ones here likes you, why aren't you smart enough to just leave?

Pride is for fools.
Honour is what matters.
On a different note, though:
Are most Americans able to determine the accent of fellow Americans? Will, say, keco from ohio know that ray is from kentucky by hearing him speak (assuming that, in this case ray, actually has a geographically correct accent).
Of course most people can roughly determine the accent one of their country(wo)men produced, if not able to exactly pinpoint it, there's a rough idea. It doesn't take a linguist to hear someone's from Texas.
But since the USA is so freaking big are there blind spots to this rule?
I'm actually interested in this, so if we could stop the bickering

Yes people can determine the accents of Americans and where they're from.
I have a super duper natural instinct and visibility to determine where a person is from without he/she even opening mouth. Yes little extreme. I know you're probably saying don't judge a book by its cover but I always do and most of the time I end up being right. Take preach for example, I know he loves cheeseburgers and french fries. I know he is a food huger. I know for a fact that posses double cheeseburger on his left hand as hes reading this post now. Not fat fat, but he likes to put things in his mouth. Another example, what do you say when you spot a chick from a mile away wearing high heels and short skirt and open shirt? A tramp.
And I can determine in most part where people are from based on their last names.

Then another thing, how many Americans actually speak General American?
Abroad it's often thought all English (and sometimes British) speak RP but obviously only a very small percentage does that.
When I watch American sports or something I notice that even though there is a distinct variation in accents, it doesn't differ as much from GA as most British accents from RP.
Typical Russian response.
You people can't get enough of us. Don't get me started pidarast. You Russians live off us. You know exactly what I mean. The wine you drink... mother fuckers used to just come to Georgia to drink wine, they were going krazy about our wine. Ask your pops they know the story. Motha fuckers used to love Tbilisi, everybody was praising and loved going there.
When your troops were leaving towns from Georgia, wanna know what they were doing? Motha fuckers were stealing forks lol from houses, running into peoples houses and taking their bed covers because the cotton that grows in Georgia is healthy. While they were bombing houses, they were removing toilets from the houses and taking em with them lol. How low is that?

with every bachi post i feel like i'm losing brain cells...
as far as americans recognizing others' accents, i wouldnt say you could distinguish it by state really... like tennessee and kentucky have very similar accents. along with georgia, north carolina, etc. but some places inside those states even have diff. accents than other cities. like my louisville friends have notably different accents than my friends from mccreary county [i know, where the fuck is that, right?]
texas and kentucky accents dont even seem that different to me, both just seem redneckish. not talking about like, houston and dallas, but austin and more rural areas.
i definitely have a southern accent, but not like most would imagine when they find out i live in kentucky. i havent lived here my whole life, i wasnt born here, i moved here during my 'developmental' years of childhood tho. my vocabulary and accent is far from my peers. i NEVER say the words: reckon, bygod, dad gum it, dad damn it [yes some people here actually say that] and i know how to form a correct sentence. "he ain't going to" is very common here, and it gets on my last nerve.
it boils down to this, my 'country' acquaintance's say i speak like a 'wigger' or a 'city boy' is a common term from them too.
my 'city' acquaintance's say i speak like a 'hick' or 'country boy'
i have noticed people from ohio have more of a 'yank' type of accent while it still has a southern feel to it.most people from ohio i mean, of course not everyone has the same speaking voice.
