  • i care :D

  • 28 fools must be red sox fans.

  • What is a westchester accent?

  • He has the accent down, I lived in manhattan and just recently moved to the poconos and everyone is always telling me I have a very distinct accent. I hadn't even noticed that I had one

  • @pakk82 Not true. Many young people have been homogenised by the media but many still have regional accents, they're just not as distinct as they once were. I live in New York and plenty still have the accent, just not as many as before.

  • @2fast4uspartan actually Al Capone probably had a Brooklyn accent since he grew up here and lived here until his 20s lol

  • Italian, jewish/eastern european etc. immigrats to NEW YOIK contributed the "dis"-es, "dat"-s and "tree"-s because they cannot pronounce the "TH" sound e.g. "8th', "though", thought etc.

  • most insightful video ive seen in all of my youtube life. good job.

  • i'm from Chicagoland (aka....Chicago) and our accent is a bit different....think of al capone...there is our accent. Nah i'm kidding we have a difficult to define accent with Midwestern influence and Big eastern influence.

  • Very helpful. I'm going there for a a month next summer, so I might not stick out as much.
