Do you call meal time Dinner or Supper or as Olivia calls it "Suppah"?

It seems like I've heard that in times past and especially in rural areas it was common to call the mid-day meal dinner instead of lunch and the last meal would be supper.

Up in New England it is breakfast, lunch and supper. However on Holidays we may have a light lunch and eat a large dinner about midafternoon anytime between 2 and 4pm. and either skip supper or have a light one. When I ate with some British, Irish & Aussies, they completely confused me. About late afternoon they asked if I had my tea yet.. I said, wait a minute I'll go pour myself some right now and join you. They said, that's fine but they were actually referring to a savory, hot, early evening meal.

I guess "Suppah" was just for Olivia. Or maybe it was a way the Southern accent was and how they say Supper. Olivia though seems like the only one that says it that way. Not even Grandma. |

We have breakfast in the morning, lunch around noon, and sometime in the early evening we have dinner.

In the first season, both Michael and Richard spoke with an accent, but it didn't take long for them (especially Richard) to drop it. I don't think any of the other kids or adults spoke with an accent. Then again, Linda Purl (Vanessa - Curt's sister) made up for everybody else who appeared on the show. |

I would have thought the ones that would have had the strongest accents would have been Grandpa and Grandpa and others like Maude Gormley who must have been around the mountain quite a long time as she was pretty old. I could really never judge how old the Baldwin Sisters were. They had a more sophisticated accent, but not to the degree of Cora Beth. |

Probably bc they went to finishing school as young ladies of means did back then. |

Not even Grandma. dropping the R pronunciation in words ending in r, in linguistics is called non-rhotic speech. It was brought over from England with the original colonists. You hear non-rhotic accents around New England and New York. it was also common along the Atlantic seaboard states & south into the 1800s, including Virginia were the Hamners lived. In YT clips you can hear former President Carter (from Georgia) using a non-rhotic accent, in words like former (formah), discover (discovah), together (togethah), deeper (deepah) and ever (evah). Besides the U.S., I've heard non-rhotic accents from people in the U.K. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. For the older actors like Zeb, Esther, Maude & the Baldwin sisters, I think they were happy they could remember all their lines. Getting them all to speak with an authentic Virginia accent would have been more challenging. |
