"yinz" and "innat" are pittsburgh and suburbs only. i lived in pittsburgh for a while and agree that this is mildly annoying.

I forgot about "yinz". It might be even worse than "inat". "Are yinz goin' to the store inat?" Wtf?

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.

This is funny. I'm from Houston and get told all the time that I don't have a Texas accent. The only give away is the y'all and that I tend to call women "Darlin'" with a little twang. It's a terrible habit.

Several people that I know from Oregon have a subtle accent that only shows when saying certain words.

Specifically pronouncing the words measure, treasure and pleasure as maysure, traysure and playsure.
