accents

I'm a Northerner who went to Florida for awhile. And somehow ended up in Kentucky. only part of the week.
So, even though this is a large town, I still stick out with the way I tawk dude. yeah, north jersey meets the surf.
Whenever I hear people say words like y'all...... shiver.
Today, I learned another word that sticks out. Sprite. Yeah, the soda. But, around here it's more pronounced spraahite. i tend to giggle. Of course, they probably laugh when I say tomata or water (my sons tease that there isn't a d in water).
