Hard.
in what universe?
The Northeast. New Yockahs, Bostonians, Downeasters, Joisey...They just can't seem to form their mouths right to pronounce a decent "R".
Michael Savage for example.
The Kennedys had/have their own FAUX accent, Southies, in Boston, don't sound ANYTHING at all like those who live in other parts of that city, and South Jersey is different from the middle part, which is different again from the northern sections and the ghetto dwellers.
Case in point...I find Trump's accent extremely weird and have NEVER heard one like it, even though I knew people who grew up in different parts of Queens.
And if you also believe, as it appears that you do, that people who grew up in Maine, N.H., and Vt., also all sound the same and NOBODY, from N.J. through Maine, drops or mispronounces every R in every word, you're just NUTS and possibly deaf.
Where did YOU grow up and where do you live now?
savage, you are judging New Yorkers by what Savage sounds like? ROTFLMAO !
