    They aren't Norn Irish, they are American Seattle-ites, which is why it is wrong.

    Yeah "bayg" is one of the (many) things people made fun of me for and that I had to train myself out of. xD

    It's the exact same sound so if it's wrong for Seattle to do it, it's wrong for Belfast to do it.

    Having grown up in Washington, this whole 'bayg' thing is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist and you guys are just making it up.

    Where in Washington? I was a bit north of Seattle and everyone I know totally said it.

    We also had (have?) a habit of dropping syllables out of words. Crayon -> Cran, Mayonnaise -> Man-aze, Caramel -> Car-mel. Actually I still say all those words like that and haters can get out

    Aahhahaha these are all the same for Utah

    I have been persecuted for saying "carmel" instead of "car-a-mel"

    I actually lived down south in Vancouver. So, practically P-Town. And the others you mention we definitely do, although caramel kind is a give and take. But I still don't think I have ever heard 'bayg', and I've been all over Washington and Oregon.

    I have the very sexy and seductive mixed accents of Dutch German and West Coast Canadian.

    I thought everyone pronounces it manaze & carmel.

    I've got some relatives who say ''warsh'' instead of ''wash''. my grandmother also says ''sangwich'' instead of sandwich & ''haych'' instead of ''aych''.

    My accent is something like Rick Grimes in the Walking Dead, but with a little more southern twang. That's really the only way to describe it lol
