I wonder when the Tahms will take such a in-depth look at the gibberish they speak in N'yawk. What are Texans, some kinda lingustic sahd-show that the hah and mahty can come down and stare at? Hope they didn't get nuthin' on they fancy loafers whilst they was a-gawkin' at the rubes.

Maybe it's just me, but this here awticle sounds a trahfle patronizing.

Because it's too new. Until 150 years ago, the educated accent in New York, Philladelphia , or Boston was almost identical to an upper class Virginia accent, or an upper class English accent.
