I notice on lots of YouTube videos, when people say "Baptist" it comes out "babdist". Is that a regional thing?
Pure laziness... in the south of the U.S. they throw letters in where there are none: "warsh" for "wash" and in the NE of U.S. they omit letters "ga'age" for "garage". Americans say "lader" for "later". A lot of letters get swallowed up in laziness. We be a mixed up folk!

Bap_dist: means: keep 'em under 'til they bubbleLOL. ..babdist x D..this is the funniest thread I've seen ^^

Maybe it's because I travel so much, but I can tell someone from many places: the Mid-West, North-East, North (MN, SD and ND) and South, then Chicago, Boston and New York. Lost are California (except for like the vocab', ya know?). I don't know if people in the AZ/NM/Colorado area have an accent, or Washington/Oregon. Then you have the Aussies and the New Zealanders to me are hard to separate. For Canada, Prince Edward Island always say "eh" but then so do the rest of them, except for Quebec, but I can't say I can hear a difference other than their "Canadian". I can hear Londoners, Wales, Scots and Irish. Because of my wife I can hear the 5 major regions of Spain, Puerto Rican from Cubans, Mexicans and then to me I can't separate the South Americans except for Argentina - they have an Italian accent. Wow! I never knew how much I realized I was accustomed to until I started typing!!!A bit OT but how different are US accents to you? My UK ears can't tell the much of the US from Canada although there are some things I might hear as Southern US and maybe a gangster (Chicago??) accent on some old films... UK is much smaller but I'd easily know someone form Livepoool area, Midlands (although much to their annoyance can't tell Birmingham from Black Country), NE of England, NW of England (again not being able to pick Lancashire from Yorkshire), etc.. Should be better at it but can sometimes hear S Welsh as opposed to N Welsh, normally N Irish from Southern (which is not the UK but...) Irish (sometimes even detecting a Dublin accent), etc. but I'm pretty hopless elsewhere in the world. Australian vs New Zealand is another I can't hear.
The other side to that one is from my side, I hear US, etc. people commenting on a British accent...
