He doesn't come across as particularly "UPC sounding" to me. I don't think there is a specific UPC speech pattern. I've heard different preachers from different areas in the UPC and they all have different (but often regional) speech patterns. I can also usually tell who came out of a big city church environment vs who came from a small country church environment, regardless of region.  |
Agreed. This can be said of dialects in general.
Ya’ll all should know now that down here yonder in the south we have our own way of talk’n. Lol
