@happyhomie4: Well, yes, these days regional accents are diminishing with the advent of instant audio communication, and with mass media delivering a "neutral" accent for news and even some entertainment shows. It seems that now, slang is the major differentiating factor.

I'm from NorCal, and I pronounce roof with the long double o-sound. My friends and I all pronounce it different ways, so I think that it comes from your family, and what your family says. Same with aunt and such.

Honestly I'm a SoCal girl and I sound the same. Is there a diff. between Norcal and SoCal accents?

[samuraiBSD]

@thehapagirl92 yeah, I think there is a slight difference, but you have to bepaying attention to hear it. You're probably more likely to hear dialects based on social class than region at that point.

Just out of curiosity, where do you go to school?

Nice video. We say roof here with the extended oo's as well. But I have heard people say it the way you say it.
