Detroit has accents?
Certain ‘parts’......................
Sho do, bruh..
Some ‘Ebonics’ to be heard but yeah. They have an accent of the Midwest, which is none to my ears.
And nowadays, Detroit downtown proper is becoming quite nice. But of course it is “white gentrification” Avoid the “wrong” side of town though.
Detroit accent....
Once I heard Chicago was the example of a bland, non-accent used as the standard for TV and radio announcers.
Each area, including the deep south and Brooklyn, has people who believe they do not have an accent. A Stephen King article on writing said they hear no accent inside their minds but we hear them outside.
In one of my favorite movies, The Magic Christian “Let’s hear it with the American accent.” “That was the American accent.” Sellers: “Good Lord, what’s going on over there?”
