Accentuate The Point

| June 5, 2015
(I am in a first-year French class. The professor is a native of France and, while fluent in English, speaks with a heavy accent. The student in this exchange is a friend who is from Oklahoma and speaks with a thick drawl. He has just finished reading a sentence in French.)
Professor: “No, no, no! You are speaking French with an Oklahoma accent!”
Student: “Well, why not? You speak ‘Oklahoman’ with a French accent.”
Professor: *pauses, thinks* “You have a point.”
