As a side note, every jobsite i've ever been to (im a sub contractor), the majority of the workers use the word "fuck" almost every 2nd word in each sentence they produce. Actually just today at work , my brother who also works with me...had to use the washroom, and of course he had to let us know in the typical alberta way. Eg. "Jesus fucking christ I have to fuckin piss sooooooo fuckin bad its making my fuckin safety glasses fog up." And thats pretty mild compared to most things. | ||

But the above is still worth noting- the region which speaks the language in such a way that it can be clearly understood by the greatest number living abroad and/or is in best keeping with the origins of the language could, by some, be considered to be speaking in a neutral accent. | ||
