There’s no such thing as an “actual” accent. there are dozens, sometimes hundreds of different accents across each state. You don’t get to cherry pick old people who still speak in the most stereotypical accent you can think of for their state.

[@thebrianconran]

It'sKatie no. “No hard T” is one thing. And “we replace hard Ts with Ds” is another thing

That is known as tap-flapping. It's to essentially bridge the gap between the vowels where the t is so to make the word sound less dissevered.

The Nebraska one was pretty accurate even tho it was like a split second clip. The Midwest always pronounces their “i’s” as “e’s.” So a lot of times you’ll here “melk” instead of “milk” or “begal” instead of “bagel.” But it also depends on the area because to the world all we are is an American accent

[@erincross8370]

California was peak, “we don’t mispronounce anything” 😂😂😂

[@moistbender148]

0:39 I have a better answer. Half two-syllable words that have a "t" halfway in between them, and any word that ends in -ing is pronounced -in'. Examples: "Mou'ain." "Bu'on." You know, like New Mexico, and Colorado. "Skiin'." "Runnin'." And nobody pronounces "it's"/"its" correctly. Those words sound like "i'ss." And I think the whole country doesn't pronounce water as "water," but as "wadder," or something like that.

Cincinnatians tend to say “please” instead of “excuse me” when asking people to repeat themselves.

[@hirokomitsuu]

We do? I usually say "whatchu say?" And when someone says "please" I'm like "please what XD I don't have anything for you ma'am XD" So if you say "please" as a way of saying "excuse me" you will tend to stun Cincinnatians out of confusion XD

No it's the Mid West but he's right, most Cincinnatians have an odd sort of southern drawl to their voice. We are heavily influenced by the South Eastern states. The Cincinnati accent is closer to that of Kentucky, Tennessee, or West Virginia than that of other Mid-Westerm cities.
