Few persons know it but the late Mr. O'Connor had degrees in English and was a teacher of that subject IIRC. You'd hardly have known it from the way Archie Bunker mangled the English language with his NYC accent and pronouncing of words. However that accent was spot on. Loved how he always called Gloria "little goil". And his "huh"
