	Portrait of the USA
		American education is a complex topic because a single school can draw upon resources from several different public and private institutions.
		A college student takes courses in his or her "major" field (the area of study in which he or she chooses to specialize), along with "electives" (courses that are not required but chosen by the student).
		The primary reason for their concern was the possible connection between the growth of electives and the slow but steady decline of American students' average scores on standardized tests of mathematics, reading, and science.

	American English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		American English (AmE) is the dialect of the English language used mostly in the United States of America.
		American English has many spelling differences from English as used elsewhere (especially British English), some of which were made as part of an attempt to make more rational the spelling used in Britain at the time.
		Americanisms formed by alteration of existing words include notably pesky (from pest), phony (from fawney), rambunctious (from rumbustious), pry (as in "pry open," from prize), putter (verb, from potter), buddy (from brother), sundae (from Sunday), and skeeter (from mosquito).

	Boston accent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boston accent is the dialect of English not only of the city of Boston, Massachusetts itself, but more generally of all of eastern Massachusetts; it shares much in common with the accents of Rhode Island, New Hampshire, southern Maine, and northeastern Connecticut.
		The three regions are frequently grouped together by sociolinguists under the cover term Eastern New England accent, combined with New York-New Jersey English, forms a part of Northeastern American English.
		A feature that some Boston English speakers share with Received Pronunciation is the so-called Broad A: in some words that in other accents have [æ], such as half and bath, that vowel is replaced with [aː]: [haːf], [baːθ].

	SparkNotes: The French and Indian War (1754-1763): Context
		The English victory in the war decided the colonial fate of North America, and yet at the same time sowed the seeds of the eventual colonial revolution.
		The British took retribution against Native American nations that fought on the side of the French by cutting off their supplies and then forcibly compelling the tribes to obey the rules of the new mother country.
		Native Americans that had fought on the side of the British with the understanding that their cooperation would lead to an end to European encroachment on their land were unpleasantly surprised when many new settlers began to move in.

	What's American About American Poetry
		The significance of Wheatley's adoption of English meter can bear much discussion—but so can the fact that the rhythms of John Milton's verse and prose informed the cadences of African American religious rhetoric through the early decades of this century, and can be heard echoing in pulpits today.
		American poets seem to have a propensity to invent forms; our very characteristic contentiousness on the subject, going back to Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson, is also the sign of an extreme attention.
		Her decision to avoid the pentameter and to privilege a "popular" measure may not have been a consciously defiant one, but was nonetheless momentous for the history of American prosody, and perhaps not unrelated to the subversive appropriation of Gospel cadences by enslaved Africans.

	Linguistic Geography of the United States
		These are in chronological order: the Linguistic Atlas fieldwork begun under the direction of Hans Kurath in the 1930's; the informal but extensive personal observations of Charles Thomas in the 1940's; the DARE fieldwork of the 1960's under Frederic Cassidy; and the Phonological Atlas fieldwork of William Labov during the 1990's.
		Modern linguists have been sharply critical of the now disused term "General American" but it does seem that in the early 20th century a huge area of the country used a quite similar phonology.

	The Organization of Dialect Diversity in North America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		North American dialects are differentiated by unconditioned mergers, which affect the phonemes wherever they appear, and by conditioned mergers, which occur in a particular environment.
		Finally, most of the American West is included in area (4), though some variation remains in certain large cities: Los Angeles, the Bay area, and Denver.
		This is the line separating the Northern dialect area from the North Midland, drawn by Carver (1987) on the basis of the distribution of words in the Dictionary of American Regional English.

	HLW: Introduction: Dialects and Languages
		The number of conventions that distinguish Pittsburghers from other English speakers in the northeastern United States is actually pretty small, but because there is such a set of conventions, we can consider these people to be a speech community.
		Americans tend to be relatively tolerant of differences in accent, however.
		When we reach the level of a language such as English, Spanish, or Mandarin Chinese, we have a speech community which shares a set of conventions (in some cases a standard dialect) which allows people in the community to communicate with one another despite dialect differences.

		Northeastern American varieties use this one, called 'open o', while most Californians (esp. Southern Californians), use 'ah' (the next one down in the table).

		The scene is rather a part of much vigorous activities now held in American universities by Muslim students seeking to know - and provide information - about their countries of origin, the American embassy in Cairo said in a report sent to IslamOnline.net Saturday, March 27.
		Despite the social adjustment difficulties that the students sometimes encounter, many acknowledge the advantages of American academia: the multicultural makeup of U.S. campuses and the flexibility that allows students to explore many fields of study, men and women alike.
		However, the image mostly painted by the American administration does not come that rosy for many Arab and Muslim students in the country’s universities, especially in the aftermath of 9/11 - which witnessed a rise in hate crimes and a strong appearance of Islamophobia.

	About low-back vowels in American English \| Antimoon Forum
		For example even though spelling of dog has just an o, a lot of Americans spellit as dawg, which is closer to the way it is pronounced.
		Standard American pronounciation makes a small but definite distinction between the two--that is, words like "ball, bought, caught" are pronounced with a slightly rounded vowel--bol, bot, kot (that's an approximation, using the ASCII phonetic alphabet).
		Generally, though, the rule for General American English is to distinguish the two.

	Hoo wunts speling too chaenj? \| Antimoon Forum
		However, the main matter is that such was never designed to be an orthography to fit all of English, simply due to my own lack of knowledge about the details of the phonologies of English dialects outside of North America, so consequently it was limited to only really fit the phonologies of NAE dialects.
		The consequences of this is that for most English-speaking North Americans, who form at least a majority of all English-speakers (with NAE-speakers in general forming a supermajority of all English-speakers), many vowel distinctions in writing would have to be simply memorized.
		Also, except in some potential context of massive political upheaval, it is unlikely that any local new English orthographies only pertaining to specific English dialect groups (such as North American English) would be established either, due to the massive amount of common literature written in the current orthography.
