Great article. When I was out west in California, they all thought I was from Canada...lol! I admit, I do hear some of the phonetic mishaps that comprise the "Cleveland Accent," but not from everyone here. Just listen to Lebron James. Never once have I heard him c-yeahn-dee.
I worked in the hotel biz for 17 years and listened closely to people's dialect, cadence, tempo and patterns trying to figure out where they are from and many times practice and learn their language. We all have our accents. Hell, if someone were to actually speak the King's English, we'd say they have an accent.
