There's the "oy" sound for "i." Even my Verizon phone has that accent: "You have faw messages whose retention toyme is about to expoyre." Do they do different accents for different parts of the country?

And then there's the "er" for "oy"--not as common. I think from a part of Brooklyn: "Don't forget to flush the terlet."
