The average intelligence of an american is several point lower than the rest of humanity so they have to think about each word before they utter it. However, they still usually choose the wrong ones!

Ask them, they are quite easy to talk to. Dont fall into this false logic argument that all Americans talk slowly, it is the same as saying all Englishmen have a title, or the French are cheese eating surrender monkeys, or other silly things of that ilk. Most of them speak at a reasonably slow pace to make sure they are understood, a habit they got from their Irish and Scottish forbears

Most Americans don't speak slowly. However, I will admit that some southern dialects seem slower than others because of the emphasis they place on syllables containing vowels. Southern state's accents contribute to this problem as well.

Because the rest of the world listens slow.

My best guess, and I am not being racial, is that the US is very diversified with all the foreigners coming to live here, that by talking slower, people who are still learning our language, have a chance to really understand.
Secondly, by talking slower, it makes an impact on what is being said.

Georgie Bush has been schooled to talk that way. His words are written for him. He just has to say them.. I wish Australians would talk slower. They gabble and mumble or yell and I miss most of what's being said.

Not every American talks slow. I, for one, do not. People usually have to tell me to slow down because I tend to talk fast.

Americans don't talk slow. he's just slowing down on purpose so that the other countries can understand.

We don't all talk slow, but we do in the South, and some people think that its as sexy as say....an Irish accent?? (Course I'm partial to the latter myself!)
