Re: American accents that really bug you
"yinz" and "innat" are pittsburgh and suburbs only. i lived in pittsburgh for a while and agree that this is mildly annoying.
i, for one, can't stand philadelphia accents. bk

[ QUOTE ] PA - can't stand a drawl with the use of "yunz". Makes me insane. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. And I'm not sure if it's pittsburgh or all of PA that says "inat" to mean "and that". They stick it at the end of every other sentence. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Definitely not all of PA. I'm from the eastern part and have never heard that one before. Now I'm in Jersey and I hate the Jersey accent.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I can't stand the California surfer-dude accent. I hate people who say 'brah'. [/ QUOTE ] This actually comes from Hawaii [/ QUOTE ] Also, nobody in california says "brah" unless they want everyone to think they are retarded. [/ QUOTE ] Alright, I didn't mean that 'brah' was a CA thing, but I can see the confusion. I still hate the CA surfer accent, as well as people who say brah. Unfortunately, brah is getting to be somewhat popular with the lame poser crowd, which happens to be about 85% of all American males age 16-29.

[ QUOTE ] "brah" [/ QUOTE ] What does this mean? [/ QUOTE ] Instead of 'bro', like "sup bro?". Like how Peachy says "mah" instead of "my". Similarly annoying.

Re: American accents that really bug you
Depending on what part of Texas you are in, can depend on the accent. People living in Austin, Dallas, or Houston have really no accent. Now just go a little ways out into the country, and you will hear a true country Texan voice.
In Texas, just like with NY, and Cali and any other such place, there is a difference in accent between a native born Texan and a transfer resident. Using "ya'll" though is a typical word in my vocab. Guess it just comes natural. The best twang accens come from the deep deep south.

This was explained to me once. "Y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is the plural. [/ QUOTE ] It was either explained wrong, or you misunderstood. And you talk funny! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

If you've never been with a girl with a southern accent, well, I don't know what to say. You're missing out. [/ QUOTE ] Sometimes I make my girlfriend talk to me with her virginian accent. It's amazing.

Re: American accents that really bug you
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] Um, no. Bullshit. 2nd Person Singular: You. 2nd Person Plural: You. Making [censored] up because it's a regional thing is lame. [/ QUOTE ] As already pointed out, because you can be both singular or plural, the all is added to clarify. It's perfectly reasonable.
