Howdy! Ogg (August?),
The 4th Region is the State of Kentucky and Eastward towards Virginia, then
Southward down to Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

Folks in the more southern States have a "twang" to the words they say.
AKA "Southern Accent".
And English is THEIR First Language.

Speaking about accents: I have a problem with Companies that I make telephone
calls to.
When they answer my call I am asked to say or press a number key if I want to
talk to an employee speaking English or Spanish.

I select English.

On most calls the employee answering my call is a person that speaks English as
their Second Language and occasionally I have trouble knowing what they are
telling me.

BTW I'm THICK HEADED AND HARD OF HEARING, which doesn't help the matter much.
And yes I do wear Hearing Aids.

The person I talk to probably might have trouble understanding my accent also.

Now that I have got an Internet connection again if I can send an Email to
them, I will do that.
