Hi Alan,

It probably depends on "your neck of the woods". I imagine that the vast majority of Americans are rather tolerant when it comes to different accents. But then again there might be a few who only accept the variant that is spoken in their "neck of the woods".

TOEIC listening, question-response: Are you the new accountant from the head office?

Morning Torsten,

I agree, 'Neck of the woods' is what it's all about!

Alan
