OOC Let's Chat!

@Joseph Sims Perfect example of how different every state can be is by the way they talk, or even sound imo. When I was in my teens, I learned that my state had an accent (albeit a very subtle one). So subtle even I still can't tell if I have it or not. But every time I was outside the state, the locals there (especially if I was visiting NYC) would be like, "Where are you from?" bc it was obvious I wasn't from New York

Ooo, I believe we're in the same timezone, Aisling. It's about 11:40 pm for me.

The amount of times people have said something about my accent when I’m in another state is hilarious. It’s not even that noticeable at least to me since there’s so many different versions of it yet people still recognize it.

accents are so so wonderful!!! wish i had one lolol

@Avery Gray Tbf, I thought I came off as someone who wasn't a local (at least when I've travelled to NYC) was because I just gave off touristy vibes. There have only been two times when I didn't look like an absolute tourist and/or part of a school field trip:

1. When my ex-bf and I went to see a few of his friends who lived in Queens. Then again, we also went to the Museum of Natural Science when we visited them, so I guess it was kind of touristy.

2. When I went to watch one of my sisters dance with her college classmates at this studio in...oh god I don't remember what borough. But I do remember that my sister absolutely SLAYED!

Every other time I've been to NYC (or even New Jersey since I was there kinda recently), it has been the definition of tourism.

@Kaitlyn Connor Ayy!

I think I'm good at understanding accents. What region of the world is it in (without invading on your privacy ofc)?

I'm in South East Asia

@Joseph Sims Oh, okay! I only know of a few accents in that region (mainly Indian and Indonesian), but I might've heard it around

I don't think we're particularly hard to understand, unless we throw in colloquial terms
