Genuine question not trying to be rude. I’ve noticed a lot of Americans say they “don’t have an accent,” especially compared to others. But everyone has an accent, right? Even the way you speak is an accent to non-Americans. Why do some people think theirs is the “neutral” one?
Also, do most Americans travel outside the U.S. or get out of their “American bubble” enough to realize this? Or is it more about not being exposed to other accents and languages?
