There are different accents in the US. Talk to people from Texas, Louisiana, Rhode Island, and California, they all sound different with the person from Louisiana probably being the most incomprehensible.

For that matter talk to someone from Dallas, TX and then someone from Tulsa, OK. That's only a 4 1/2 hour drive. They will both sound different. I'm pretty sure there's a different accent in Oklahoma City compared to Tulsa, and a different one in San Antonio compared to Dallas.

youre thinking about Cajun English, which is getting less and less common, and really is found in the southern parts of Louisiana. most louisiana residents not from deep in the bayou speak relatively comprehensibly.

If I drive for 4 hours, I'd end up in the ocean.

Driving 2 hours in the UK doesn't really get you anywhere either.

Not a straight road in that country.

It's an I threshing observation I had a. Boss yrs ago who shut down the woek for 3 weeks when he took his family to the Olympics in the states. The first thing he commented on was how boring it is to drive there when going any kind of distance due to massive long straight sections of roads
