Yeah, I think I have a similar situation in Croatia, I live in a town which I've always considered speaks pretty much standard Croatian, but everyone else says that you can easily tell that someone is from there. I figure it's because when everyone else speaks with some regional peculiarity the standard starts to stick out. Apart from "dude" I haven't really noticed anything that would scream California...:|
