Can You Please Speak Standard American English?

We always have the weirdest conversations in Communications. Today, we talked about Standard American English. Apparently, very few people actually speak it, and I am supposedly one of them. We went around the class comparing accents, and my professor said I had the closest one to Standard American English. Which is weird because my roommate says I have a strong Southern accent sometimes. I dunno. I mean I do try to avoid using words that I would use back in Louisiana because trust me, when I do, no one understands me. It's just easier not to.
