Ok, so you're saying that people who aren't from California hear an accent in the way Californians speak? That's what I'm saying as well. That just means you're in the exact same boat as everyone else. Because, you see, if I just listen to a Californian person speak, I hear the rolled 'r's of the American accent. It's not "plain" to my ears - it's all subjective and depends on where the listener is from. I know if you are form somewhere else any place sounds different. All I mean is that Californians speak in a kind of simple, plain. It's like news anchors almost.
