[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, like the Kennedys and FDR spoke. It's a WASPy northeastern boarding school accent.[/quote] You do know that the Kennedys are not WASPs? And have Boston accents (described as "hooligan" by another pp.)[/quote] It's basically regional. Yes, the Kennedys' accent is not "posh," it's just the Kennedys. FDR is correct, though for NY. William F. Buckley for Connecticut. There is a Boston Brahmin accent, as well. Think of Charles Winchester in MASH. There is an upper class southern accent in most parts of the south, as well, but I'm pretty sure most northerners can't tell the difference. Southerners can. [/quote]
