@NikR_PE I feel like I need to go full LI/record myself one day while I’m talking to family. I think we had a whole accent convo where @RBHeadge PE was confused by how I talked and super exactingly identified what my accent technically was (where I drop all the letters at the end of words and diphthong it up).

Can you start by saying that "this convo will be recorded for hilarity assurance purposes".

We can also get our resident english major @squaretaper LIT AF PE on that task.

Also, @RBHeadge PE here is something for you to analyse

I think it was a discussion on rhotic versus non-rhotic accents...maybe. Alternatively, something something dropped syllable something something.

For the record, English ≠ Linguistics, I'm just a hobbyist. :rotflmao:

I'll start by saying that I wasn't confused by jk's accent. Mostly inquiring about her "natural" accent. I've heard her talk and it wasn't characteristically LI. But she was probably subcounciously code switching a little so the more obvious LI bits got dropped.

Accents are studied by sociolinguists, not necessarily English majors.

re: video. Yep, I'm very familiar with those accents. Although they're mostly using AAVE, rather than Baltimore-English.

Yeah, I think confused was the incorrect word choice.  I think it was that whole convo in another thread where everyone was talking about how we pronounced stuff and mine felt really off and I was getting grumpy.  

...And I totally consciously code-switched.  Every LIer knows that a LI accent means you're considered stupid, even if you live on LI, so a bunch of people in white collar jobs tend to 'train it out' when working.  Ask @txjennah PE; her hubby heard me on the phone with family and was delighted by how thick my accent got suddenly.

I was in the bathroom so missed the real LI accent. I honestly love those accents. I like hearing you pronounce "coffee" and "water."
