American accents that really bug you

[JTrout]

Well it isn't exactly American, but the Aussie's get my vote.

They pronounce all words that end in "er" with an "ah"
Pokah. Rivah.

Then,
they turn right around and pronounce words that end with an "a" with a damn "er" sound!
Sheiler. karmer.


And to all you sumbeeches that don't like southern accents,
"fxck yall!"

The " yall" is the worst IMO.

I'm from Texas, and I say y'all. But one thing that does really bug me is when people use y'all to mean you, and in the singular. Just say you! Also, y'all is, at least a legitimate contraction, unlike yous. That one bugs the [censored] outta me.

We basically slow down vowel sounds, and draw them out. I know very few people who literally talk slow. What bothers me, and I do have a slight accent, isn't the accent as much as the colloquialisms that make no sense..which I try to avoid.

My biggest pet peeve in southern speech- "fixin" as a substitute for "about."

e.g. "I'm fixin to leave."

No accent really bothers me as long as people don't butcher the English language.

Yes that word Fixin is pretty dam gay

What about " I reckon..."

Who says that!

I think the worst is the Boston accent, followed by a real thick NYC accent. I don't like the real thick southern drawl, and I can't stand the California surfer-dude accent. I hate people who say 'brah'. The finlander accents aren't real smart, either - Northern Minnesota/Dakota and the Yooper accent in Michigan's UP.

I hate people who are too tonal when they talk or those who are monotonous. I don't dislike any region's dialects.
