I haven’t a clue as to how a Pittsburgh accent sounds but it seems to me that unless you are working in a professional manner and need to sound like everyone else it should be considered part of your identity, your heritage and you should be proud of where you come from and how you sound because of it.

Listen to some of these videos if you want to hear how it sounds.

I agree. Why do we need to be homogenized?

Admittedly, though, I went about damping down my Maryland accent when I was a young woman. Now, I just love hearing a Maryland accent.

I also like regional accents.

Pittsburgh accent is considered poor english skills or Hill Billy dialogue.
