Based on their answers to the questions mentioned in the interview, it is clear that there are certainly some inconsistencies regarding regional differences. As far as "rural people" is concerned, the answer will be "hick" in California to "countryside" in Maryland and Pennsylvania, and "southern" in Illinois and "hidden land" in "backwood man". . From the University of Wisconsin. Expression different from the expression of each respondent is different, and there are expressions that are distinguished by expression depending on the region.
Therefore, these Michigan states are based on their assessment of regional accuracy rather than listening to differences in dialects made by linguists - based on objective differences in the language system. The southern part of the language considered the most contradictory is simpler for these respondents than any other field. In the other areas where this work was done, the southern part is always attracted to the highest percentage of respondents - 94% in South Carolina, 92% in New York, West New York , 100% in South Indiana, 86% in South Indiana and 92% Oregon. Only Hawaii people recognize other areas (themselves) more frequently and only a little (97% in Hawaii, 94% in South).

Therefore, for linguists, the opposite of "dialect" is "language", it is negotiated socially and culturally; it is not determined by the truth of objective language.

The Board of Education tried to change the negative image of the black words by calling it a black word and asked the teacher to learn their student's speech. However, the American people answered as if it were splitting as if it were in the declaration of independence of the words of the Board of Education. Black leaders and intellectuals condemned the Board's decision. They condemned the black speech as a proverb, a non-standard, and an inappropriate classroom and they accused separatist racial discrimination that recognized black English
