'twill be a sad day when all regional dialects disappear. We will lose a lot more than just the dialects. The different cultures gave us different music and different foods for starters.<br /><br />This phenomenon probably began in the mid sixties with the advent of the interstate highway system and the rapid expansion of telecommunications.
