[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know plenty of folks in MA and none have these accents. Is it regional?[/quote]

Thicker accents are more common among lower class or blue collar people. This is consistent across all states and even countries. [/quote]

Well aren't you a disgusting classist pig.

And by the way, tell that to the Kennedys, you pig.

I'm eastern MA born and bred, my family's been here 400 years. Thick MA accents are very common across the social classes here.

Again, you're a classist pig.[/quote]

Your reaction is common for someone in New England. Overly aggressive and combative. Calling someone a pig because they acknowledge an accent?

Yes, upper class people still have an accent in MA, but it’s typically less pronounced.

You likely can’t process this but lower class people in other parts of the country also have strong accents. Go visit hillbilly in Tennessee and listen to how they talk and then compare that to the accents you don’t hear in a wealthy suburb of Nashville. This really isn’t a concept that is worth getting upset over.
