Baltimore has filed a protest.
As we in the Midwest prefer to call it, “a normal accent”.
Over my dead Appalachian body!

I’ve got a proper Cascadian accent. It’s lovely, but gets me marked as an outsider when I go elsewhere in the country.
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.)You don’t know any wicked mainahs then. Up north in East millinocket driver mcguyver

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.
