>tfw you will never read anything written by DFW because you watched a couple of minutes of an interview with him and Charlie Rose and instinctively know a retard when you see one

he doesn't really sound like he has much of an accent to me

As a canadian, I can only recognize the southern, texan, boston, and new york accent. aside from those, most american's have fairly neutral speech characteristics

he just has a really gentle voice.

who to believe

>>7845207

>>7845227
thanks anon

>>7845227
although, people tend to think of a midwestern accent like something out of Fargo (the movie), and a canadian accent like
>out fer a rip are yeh bud
neither of which are accurate
>>
>>7845180
i've been listening to audiobooks of Plato's Republic
very comfy, easier to follow along when I hear it out loud
>>
>>7845227
I never heard dfw say "aboot" though
>>
>>7845227
>>7845193
>implying midwesterners can't hear the canadian accent
The two are very different. Midwesterners sound like people on tv, or maybe its the other way around
>>

Canadians sound retarded

>>7847125
border state here and close to the border it blurs a bit, but its as distinct as a British accent in my opinion, and i dont think it's retarded i kinda like it

They are usually slower, or as fast depending on your reading speed.
Some things are easier to get, or better when you hear it aloud.
It's also good for any mindless task where you can focus almost all of your attention on it.
It's nice to let your eyes rest as well, sometimes.
