Though I myself pronounce my "r"s, I love that you used that example.
The reason why I quoted it, is due to the fact that you used it in your audio clip. Besides, anybody attempting to park there will also probably wind up in jail for Driving to Endanger as well, considering that it's a pedestrian only area with lots of foot traffic.

Maine accents are crazy, but yours doesn't sound that bad compared to what I've heard.
True. Mine is pretty much a generic Northern New England accent, Whis is pretty common in southern Maine. --I havn't been there in over a year, so I'm sure that it's subsided somewhat. My mom, on ther other hand doesn't have much of an accent at all, even though she grew up in Lewiston, which is pretty much all French Canadian. Some people up there still speack french, and you can tell them right off due to the accent. Towards the coast, and especially Downeast, people have a much more pronounced accent. The County People in The County (Aroostook) also have a variety of accents, and many people up there are raised speaking French (Joual).
What part of Maine does your dad live in?

all this technical stuff... Shocked
Let me Explain:
Used a cheap USB Mike, into the Generic Windows recorder ( Only records at a sample rate of 22.1 Khz (! !!) WTF?!?!?!?)
Recording industry format (RIAA) standards for CD Quality Digital audio is 16 bit resolution at a sample rate of 44.1 Khz.
Resolution :What this means is that music broken down into chunks of digital code at a wordlength (chunk size) of 16 Bits =1 Byte.
Sample Rate: Indicates how many byltes of information are processed in a given period of time. 44.1 Khz = 44,100 bytes are processed in the space of one second,
Therefore, the greater the resolution, the more accurately the information gets processed per clock cycle. The faster the clock cycle, the more information gets processed per second. The Greater both are, the more accurate the info being processed. Got it?
then did some minor EQ/Dynamics and MP3 conversion with Steinberg's WaveLab.
Steinberg Wave Lab is an Professional Audio Editing and Mastering program. --Think musical production. EQ is somewhat similar to the Bass and Treble controls on your stereo, but much more flexible. Dynamics on the other hand refers to the dynamic range of a recording, or rather, how the loudest parts of a recorded piece relate to the qieter parts of a recorded piece. --Hope this clears things up.
