This opinion article entails accents, and how they are interpreted. The author, a Spanish immigrant who works at Dartmouth as a language professor claims that accents are universal. He states that everyone has an accent, but here in the US people who don't have the "normal" or "regular" accent are viewed as different. He goes on to say that Americans tend to discriminate against people with accents different from their own more than in other countries. He wants to remind people that accents are irrelevant, and urges people to accept all accents no matter how different from their own.
