As we in the Midwest prefer to call it, "a normal accent".

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

Baltimore has filed a protest.
I’ve got a proper Cascadian accent. It’s lovely, but gets me marked as an outsider when I go elsewhere in the country.
Over my dead Appalachian body!
"you betcha" I say as I choke you to death with a corn cob
Go on, tell people in Philly they got a New York accent, I dare ya.
Never heard a New Yorker say needs washed, yins, warsh, or pop.
Or folks in Baltimore that they have a Midwest accent

New Englander here.
What in the world is a "New England accent?"
Do you mean Boston? New Hampshire? Wood Chuck? Whatever the hell is going on in Maine? (I didn't know anybody lived there to have an accent.)
If anyone is wondering, I grew up in Seattle and I've had people who are English second language ask me if I'm British.
I just learned English by watching Frasier.
Gonna make lots of Philly people angry.
They were already angry
Austin doesn't sound valley imo.
Funnily enough, it shares a lot of dialectic traits with Orlando.
It does not. It's more of a mix of Midwestern, border mexican, valley, and standard Texan. I loved how many of the Indian tech-workers that moved to Austin in the early 2000s quickly developed a habit of using y'all...and a breakfast taco addiction.

I'm an Indian born in Austin in the early 2000s who uses y'all and is addicted to breakfast tacos ^and elotes^ 💀

I live in Jackson, Wyoming (right on the border with Idaho for 8 months out of the year. I travel most of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, and I do not detect a difference in accent between there and most of the Midwest.
NJ gets its own on the map, so I'm happy.
Also all tourists can fuck off now, is fall, go home, beaches are closed.

Well if it makes you happy, to me, youse sound the same, I can make out the southern accent, but the rest just sounds american.
