Idk man, the world is a big place, and English spoken by billions of people. As long as we both know what we are talking about, I am not one to cast dispersions on accents. My mother used to say "feesh" and "warsh" but I could understand her. If you want to get into this battle, the entire New England area will really mess you up.
Are we really weirdos because of the way we talk? I think not. But people that do are the real weirdos.
