For my NYers...

[danikerhino]

I live in San Francisco and we have Italian families that have been here for several generations. So every now and then, you'll encounter middle-aged Italians that sounds like they're from the east-coast. I struck up a conversation with this woman the DMV one day and at the end of it, I asked her when did she move to the city. I got confused when she told me she was a native San Francisco. A week later, I spoke to the other dude from my neighborhood that told me he was born out here to and he had that same damn accent.

I'm guessing they either got it from their relatives or it may have been their accent from their time-period growing up.

What do you think "y'all" is? Its 'you all' ran together.

Still makes more sense than calling everyone a "guy".

I find that hard to believe. You just don't notice it, everyone has an accent.

 

[aNYone]

You think you don’t. I thought the same until I went cross country.

Even now I think I sound “neutral” until I go somewhere else I hear how different they talk and know I must sound different.

 

[tr1ll]

You guys Yall cant be serious really thinking you don't have an accent.

I swear the biggest cities produce the smallest minds.
