"You cahn't get they-uh from hee-uh".Ayuh.
And a faux Maine accent, grates on my ea-ah. Don't get me stahted about the co-rect pronunciation and usage of "Ayuh". And listening to Mrs WBill try to spit out "Boooo-th Bay Hah-Bah" is like fingernails on a blackboard.
I moved out of state close to 20 years ago. I suppose that Southerners say the same thing about me, when I (quietly and tenatively) try to say "How're yew?" :-)

Hell, they still can't quite get Boston accents right in the movies or on TV, unless the actor legitimately comes from Boston and knows that only Kennedys sound like Kennedys and that dropping one's "r''s is not called for (fo-ah) at the end of a word if the next word begins with a vowel. If evuh.
