As we in the Midwest prefer to call it, “a normal accent”.

New Englander here.
What in the world is a “New England accent?” Do you mean Boston? New Hampshire? Wood Chuck? Whatever the hell is going on in Maine? (I didn’t know anybody lived there to have an accent.)

Maines got several, none of which sound Canadian or like the rest of New England. The two big ones we call County and Downeast.

Yeah, Connecticut and Massachusetts do not share the same accent. Western Massachusetts is specifically wild. Go fuck yourself, Cuffy is a pretty great example. Connecticut doesn’t really have an accent as far as I can tell. It’s just the generic white people accent. Which is basically the same as NY. And no, the New York accent is not “I’m drinkin’ waaahtaaa ovaaah heeeea”. Maybe some very specific Italian neighborhoods in Brooklyn, but that’s about it.

It does not. It’s more of a mix of Midwestern, border mexican, valley, and standard Texan. I loved how many of the Indian tech-workers that moved to Austin in the early 2000s quickly developed a habit of using y’all…and a breakfast taco addiction.

Funnily enough, it shares a lot of dialectic traits with Orlando.

Gonna make a lot of Mainer’s mad saying we have a Canadian or New England accent. Someone from the county does not sound like a Canadian, and someone from downeast doesn’t sound like someone from Vermont which doesn’t sound like someone from Mass, and so on.

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.
