Bostonians have an annoying accent, very true. But large swaths of the Northeast are accent-neutral. Vermont, New Hampshire, New York (aside from NYC).Originally Posted by Connemara

WTF? Are you kidding? New Hampshire natives have a very distinct accent, I should know..

Aren't you from poor people new york? (aka not Manhattan)?
People from upstate NY have some of the most god awful, disgusting accents. A southern drawl can at least be melodious and endearing in the same way we love a cute but dumb dog. Someone from Buffalo or Rochester just sounds like some dog who ***** all over himself and slobbers everywhere.

Pretty much all immigrants, French speaking Canadians, and people from the Atlantic provinces have to take accent-normalizing classes if they want to be employed in western Canada.Originally Posted by Stazy
Someone had better let Fort McMurray know about this.

I think when you are talking about southern accents, it is mainly the rural areas.
The Dallas Fort Worth area does not really have an accent.

I was kidding... but really, southern people don't talk like that, so it seems one of those jokes that are funny only to people who've never actually spent any time in the South.

True story about my parents; they moved to KY from MI before I was born and were invited soon thereafter to "dinner" at a neighbors house. They planned their day to be ready for "dinner," which would be about 6:00. About 12:30 or so in the afternoon they got a call wondering WHERE they were. "It's time for dinner!" the neighbors said. My parents quickly had to adjust their lingo...

I didn't feel like reading the whole thread, but since when is Midwest accent considered "normal/standard"? It certainly is not, in my opinion.
National newscasts are entirely done by anchors who speak in a Non-Boston New England / Manhattan accent (in my opinion, no accent). There is no NY accent - there is a Staten Island accent, and a Brooklyn accent (dying out fast), and maybe a Queens accent, I'm not sure. But Manhattanites generally speak just like anchors.
Midwesterners have more twang and definitely mannerisms/expressions that I do not hear on newscasts. Just my observations.
