Chicago accent far more annoying to me. Whiney and nasaly. think Hillary Clinton or Dan Akroyd in the Blues Brothers.

It’s Valley-Girl for me. It’s worked its way across the country and exists even in women who don’t know it.

What qualifies as a Midwestern accent? Southern is also much too vague

I’ll go along with that. Along with the most unfriendly residents. I’ve lived all over the country. Wilmington, DE and Boston are tied for most unfriendly. Anywhere south of Richmond, VA is consistently more friendly by a ton.

I met a guy in college from Boston and initially I thought he was a foreign exchange student.

This article should be considered hate speech.
Speaking of which, the survey only asked about White accents. Are the non-White accents not "American" enough to be considered?

The smart people in Boston generally don’t have an Boston accent; even more so the smart people in NY generally don’t have a NY accent.
To: Migraine
Yup. Especially when combined with vocal fry.

I hope they did not lump all four Texas accents— North, South, East and West— together and define them all as “southern”
