Everyone has an accent. Go talk to someone from Georgia or New York. You'll sound funny to them.

Paulguy's Post configuration
Some regions have more neutral, monotone accents, but there are some odd pronunciation differences unless you actually pronounce every sound of every word as defined, and even then, Webster, Oxford and most other dictionaries probably define it differently.

Day-ta

When speaking with friends and family the only one that I ever hear someone else say differently is data as they say it as "Dah-ta". They don't even know what Acmlm is so that don't say that at all .

Ohio does have a lot of Julers NSNick, Bagel, Nemesis, oaa, who else?

Most people IRL who knew about Acmlm's learned of it from me, so they said "ACK-mulm" like me My dad would call it Ackmall, though. He didn't seem to mind that I went there.
