OK, so I've recently (past 3 months or so) met two people with very mild accents. One is from Cincinnati, one is from Kentucky. We got into discussing accents one day and the person from Cincy said "I'm going to take some of those accent-normalizing classes before I moved to NYC." When I asked why, she said that no one in NYC would give her a job because she sounded dumb.
I heard about the same thing from the Kentucky guy.
Is this common? Kind of weirded me out.
