:I wrote that she has a Canadian accent for the simple fact that she IS Canadian, therefore it's ridiculous to say she has an American accent. -- [[User:Troyian|Troyian]] 19:21, 8 October 2005 (EDT)

::From a nationalistic perspective you'd be right, but [[Wikipedia:Canadian English|Canadian English]] and [[Wikipedia:American English|American English]] are very different things, and Park's accent is clearly more American than Canadian - she exhibits none of the distinctly Canadian features such as [[Wikipedia:Canadian raising|Canadian raising]] or the Canadian vowel shift. If you disagree, and think her speech exhibits Canadian patterns, then by all means let me know, but it is important to distinguish between Canadian English (a specific accent) and English as spoken by Canadians, which can be of many varieties. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 20:04, 8 October 2005 (EDT)
