[QUOTE="GreekOrthodox, post: 76042291, member: 271308"] There is what is known as the General American accent which is more or less accent neutral, the midlands, which includes Ohio. Now Cincinnati does have its own dialect, that is words that don't get used elsewhere. One weird example, now more or less extinct, is that a green pepper used to be called a mango. Don't ask me why, I just grew up there. :P I've lived up and down the East Coast, 12 years in Boston, 5 years in Eastern PA, and now 3 years in Tidewater Virginia. I've spent 5-1/2 dealing with speech technology so I've gotten into a game of picking up speech patterns, accents and dialects. Accents are heard by those who don't speak that regions accent, but a strong accent can drift in and out: [MEDIA=youtube]hMgARne1boY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
