My paternal grandparents were from Bastrop County, Texas. They spoke quite slowly. My maternal grandparents were from New Jersey. They spoke rapidly. However, my maternal grandparents found themselves repeating themselves a lot because that's the culture of the east coast - you say things quickly and inaccurately and then you circle back and reiterate the important parts. My grandparents never had to repeat themselves. My grandfather said "if you don't quite know what to say, wait. If it's important, they'll wait with you."
