Yeah I live like 5 hours from Boston and I'm trying to get a pretty picture of that in my head and nope ain't happening
Lol, it's weird. Like I never thought I sounded odd, but then people from other states/countries were like "Where are you from?" And I say Ohio which makes them give me a rather perplexed expression.
I'm not sure what to imagine that sounds like!
I guess it's like most places, the people can tell different accents from their country very easily...
I also find it weird people can't tell Aussie & Kiwis apart, maybe that's why we tease each other's accents
I can't really describe it, lol! Perhaps you could look up what a Southern person sounds like and then look up what someone from Boston sounds like, and then combine the two.
When I went to Grecce people would always stare at me, but that may had been because I was freaking out over all the ruined architecture.
