One of my cousins, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, would define his norm completely different than the way I would define it. In his community, the shorts they wear do not reach their knees, but in my town this style would stand out because it is not the norm. In his area, people tend to say “y’all” instead of “you all.” The dialect in the Northeast versus the Southeastern dialect is very noticeable even when witnessing just a short conversation. If someone was at a bitter cold football game in Georgia, when they looked around, the majority of the crowd would be wearing a coat. The norm in Atlanta is to wear their coat, while in my hometown it is less likely you would see someone wearing a coat, and it is more likely a person would wear a sweatshirt in this weather. If my cousin were to move to my community, would he continue to use the same dialect and dress the same way as he did when he lived in Georgia, or would he conform to my town’s societal
