Same thing as wikipedia then.
Same goes to cracked.com
Its a black hole for free time. If you aren’t careful, you’ll rapidly spin into a seemingly endless spiral of tab after tab after tab all open at once.
Not sure why it’s not. I understand actors sometimes speak in a different accent for a certain character they play, but otherwise people talk as they normally would.

Interesting, thanks.
I don’t know anything about this website. Why the warning?
TV TROPES!?
@Ferote
Decent guide to American accents (warning, TV Tropes link!)
Oh it’s not a problem, I wasn’t trying to sound cross, I just wanted inform someone. TV and movies aren’t a great judgment for accents anyway, as you never run into such thing in real life.
Oh, sorry for the expression.
I don’t know how to express it, but in American TV shows and movies most people speak with a way more common to each other than how people speak in most such media from England, Ireland, Scotland, Canada or Australia. But maybe I’m generalizing to much.
The closest thing to an ‘american accent’ is probably the supposedly non-accent midwestern accent.
As mentioned below, I am a Texan, and AJ and Applebloom sound spot on to an accent down here. Oh, and there is no such thing as an “American” accent. We have a pretty big country, hell Texas is larger than France, and there are many different accents all around the country.
So my understanding is the way Rarity speaks in this episode is a gross exaggeration of the way people in the Souther regions of USA speak. Is the way Applejack or Applebloom more close to that? I find the accent of those two (especially AB) somewhat nice to hear.
In either case, I found Rarity’s accent in this episode really enjoying, it was cute and humorous, as the cartoon itself is. On the other hand, I dislike the ordinary way of speaking of that character.
I can say without a doubt that her twang is exactly what you come around down here

Hers seems to be what I’d imagine to be a ranch sort of Western, not the slow drawl or planatation sort of drawl you get from southerners.

Same here.
I’m not even from the south (Pennsylvanian, thank you very much), and Rarity’s attempt made me cringe at points.
It was comical at points, though, but the real deal was Applejack’s southern belle accent.
Yes, I know, Stylistic Suck, but it was grating to my ears. Really quite painful.
it was terrible on purpose
The moral was a good one, though.
