>General American is thus sometimes associated with the speech of North American radio and television announcers, promoted as prestigious in their industry, where it is sometimes called "Broadcast English", "Network English", or "Network Standard". Instructional classes in the United States that promise "accent reduction", "accent modification", or "accent neutralization" usually attempt to teach General American patterns. Television journalist Linda Ellerbee states that "in television you are not supposed to sound like you're from anywhere", and political comedian Stephen Colbert says he consciously avoided developing a Southern American accent in response to media portrayals of Southerners as stupid and uneducated.

When I was living in Montgomery AL I had to go to a junkyard way out in the country. My cousin's fiance insisted on going with me; I said it'll be fine; he said "no, I'll need to translate."

Yes. So much yes. I had no idea what was said at any point.

> FITN has its benefits for the state.

Certainly.

With that said, am I supposed to support NH being first every year...."because we said so"? I don't really see why we should be perpetually special even if it is beneficial to the state.

Something can be good for the state and also not really make any sense in terms of fairness.

Yes all that is true but using blown in insulation is cheap and easy to do. The main problem ive run into is no insulation at all in the adjoining walls between you and the opposite Tennant. Just by doing this first step makes a huge difference then later you can apply a sheet of sound drywall over the existing drywall.

None of that it's going to help much. You need a true sound barrier a true sound wall. Actually there are types of sheetrock that you can buy that are expensive but it's perfect I've used it in rentals but nothing will be better than a staggered stud wall with no contact but then you have still noise over the talk and under. I've insulated a lot of apartments in my life. The next best thing of course is the arrangement of the rooms kitchens should be back to kitchens and generally a living room to a living room bedrooms always on the fathests side of the house. The common party wall should ideally just contain the stairs and a hallway
