Posted: 5/21/05 at 9:38pmYears ago, my sister and I took our first trip to Italy. While walking around Pompeii, a local pointed to us and said "Bensonhurst?" Not even "Brooklyn." He was able to nail the exact neighborhood. I guess I have an accent.

bag comes out "beeyag"
"wooder" instead of "waaater"
and "myaaad" instead of "maaaad"
Oh yeah. That's so my voice too. I never realized it till someone made fun of me in high school for the way I said "speeanish clyaaass" (or spanish class).

Posted: 5/22/05 at 2:33pmeveryone i know from every school i've been to claims i have a very refined british accent, no one in my family can hear this nor can any of my close friends, but i'm slowly accepting that it must be there. I find it ironic since i was born and raised in central jersey.

Posted: 5/22/05 at 7:29pmMy english teacher claims to be from Connecticut and her A's are very over exaggerated (IE Africa comes out Aaaaafrica. and Happy is Heeyappy.) Do people in CT really speak that way? I've been to CT and I don't seem to recall hearing any accent really. She always tells us that everyone outside of NY speaks that way and that we're the weird ones...hmmm

Posted: 5/22/05 at 11:08pmI used to live in Maryland, and I still have slight accent left over from living there. For instance, I say "warsh" instead "wash". I hate that I have the accent.

Posted: 5/23/05 at 9:54pmI guess I have a slight new york accent, my friends who moved to chicagoa number of years ago thinks I do. But I have no where near say a stereotypical westchester or brooklyn accent. My grandma has the best 1940's brooklyn accent and my dad does the long island thing where he ads er to a's (is. samanther)
