How far do you have to travel from your home for the dominant accent to be different than where you live? If you are from Boston but live in California it’s not your accent that is being asked about, it’s the common accent of those that live around you. It’s not how far you have to got to find one person with a different accent. It’s how far before the common accent is recognizably different. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5009))_ ---

You’re accused of a serious crime. You know you’re innocent and you can prove it. However the proof requires somebody following a long chain of various logical strands that when added together will confirm your innocence. Somebody without the discipline or inclination to follow such intricate logic would think you’re guilty as the other evidence seems overwhelming otherwise. Before jury selection you’re given a plea bargain sentence that is about 20% as bad as you’d get if you went to trial and lost.

Timeline: Week 0: You get an eye exam and order glasses. Week 3: You get a call from the eye doctor that the glasses arrived but are scratched; they will remake. Week 6: You get a call from the eye doctor that the glasses arrived, but with the wrong prescription. They will remake. Week 10: You get a call from the eye doctor saying that the glasses arrived, but AGAIN with the wrong prescription, but you can try them and see if they work. You go in with your laptop computer and the glasses are fine for computer work so you take them. Week 12: You get a call from the eye doctor saying to return the glasses, so they can put in the correct prescription, because otherwise there is some kind of insurance issue… What do you do?
