Heather, I lost my "Lawn-guy-land" accent when I went to SUNY at Plattsburgh. Too many Rochester friends and their "flat A's" & "bossy R's".[b said:Quote[/b] (moonflower @ Mar. 16 2005,8:16)]50% Barely into the Yankee category. which is interesting because i've had numerous people tell me i don't have an accent ("you're from long island? wow, you don't sound like it." which always leads me to wonder what they THINK i should sound like!!!). and here i land right in the middle!
lol except i think they need to have their own test just for new york accents which don't fall under either category... the Long Island, the Brookyln, the Western New York...

I, along with 20,000,000 other Aussies all say Aunt that way, never had the poms call us "posh" before though.
