I have been to New York, my sister is in a relationship with a guy from California, and I have friends in southern states. No person I’ve talked to in those 3 areas of the U.S. do nearly as much “elimination” as I and other people from Michigan do. Maybe my experience is just coincidence, but I feel that it’s a meaningful distinction, especially for non-native speakers. | |

| Aug 26, 2018 at 23:44 | comment | added | Chris Cirefice | @AzorAhai Perhaps, but I’ve travelled very little in the U.S., so I’m not very familiar with people from i.e. California. When I was in New York, people seemed to speak a lot more slowly and concisely than most people I know from Michigan. I figured I may as well clarify where I’m from in case it matters (and look, one of the answers actually hit on that point!) | |
