I think people mock other accents because most people think that they don't have one. Most people can't hear their own.
I work with a school full of people who say "bubblah" and "Yogit" (that's bubbler - aka a water fountain and yogurt...those are probably my two least favorite words up here).
Nobody in the entire building can say my name right either...except for this lady from PA.
My question is this: If someone's accent keeps them from being able to pronounce certain letters or sound combos correctly, then how are kids ever diagnosed with speech problems? I am not a speech pathologist, so I do not have a clue.
