Accents make me smile

[Rye]

New Yorkers have one general accent, but Floridians, Californians, and Midwesterners DO have accents.

I live in Wisconsin, so I have to deal with heavy yankee accents all the time. Like a Canadian dialect, but not as severe. Very often, I'm proud of my slight Southern accent, if for the sole reason of it meaning that I don't have a yankee accent.

Untrue. There are like, 3 or 4 different New York accents. Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island and upstate, which really isn't an accent, kinda like with how Californians speak. Queens and Brooklyn could be considered one accent though. But there is definitely a difference between how an upstate accent, a Long Island accent, and a Queens/Brooklyn accent sound.

Long Island accents are whiny sounding and general make you sound like an annoying Mom.

Queen/Brooklyn accents elongate vowels. Like "Dawwwwg" and "Haaaairy Paddah" and "Awwwwrange." Brooklyn accents use D and G sounds a lot too in odd places. I have a Queens accent.

That's about all I know exactly.
