After I moved up north I'd get a kick out of the way they say pecan....the way they say it sounds more southern than in the south where the trees actually grow, the way the people in the south say it actually seems a more New Englandish use of vowels.
And why didn't we talk about r's?? In NE there are no r's, they are like completely disregarded. There is a town in Mass, Worcester.....they pronounce Woostah
When I was like 18ish I had personalized license plates......AMBAH, my name is Amber, but that's how they say it up there. I really liked how the Mexicans I worked with for awhile down in here in SC said my name. hey made it sound sooo much cooler!!!!
