@merveilleuxcameron Ohh yeah.. thats interesting. I never thought of it like that before!

[merveilleuxcameron]

@OriginalRockstarJosh bc ct has class? ha just foolin. sort of. I actually think a lot of it has to do with wealth. Like Manhattan-bred, well-off kids never have accents at all. My thoughts, at least. :p

The only people I heard tlking this way is when I was on xbox live talking to Rhode Islanders they talked that way but not NYC that's bizarre. I think the furtha up coast the less R's exist like in Maine cahhhhh. Just like New Orleans and some other country folks I've listen to drop R's and make 'em two syllables like here (he-yah) instead of hea.
