Hello, How Do You Moo?

Too often, we judge people as soon as they open their mouths. Not because of what they say, but because of how they say it. Whether it’s in the classroom, in the workplace, in the grocery store, on a plane, or over the telephone, chances are you’ve spoken with somebody who talks with a different accent than your own. Each of us talks with an accent that bears the marks of our home country, our home state, our family, or another important aspect of our background. Be proud of the way you talk. It’s a part of you! Unfortunately, sometimes the differences between our twangs, cadences, and tongues can amount to significant yet subtle barriers between people. Accents are important. It’s time we consider the way we perceive them.
