[Maritime Q-Scout]

I tend to think my accent is fairly neutral.

However, being an East Coaster I can hear the East Coast accent when I order my caw-fee.

I don't hear it but I've been told by folks from Ontario west that I, as well as most Easterner, hold my 'R's at the end of words too long.

IE: I got in my carrr to go to the barrr which wasn't very farrr.

I laugh and say I'm actually pronouncing the 'R'.

My wife as an accent, her sister's is VERY thick and when she talks to her sister it gets thicker.

I would think, for me anyway, its terminology more than anything.

At a conference once a few years back, I was walking back to the hotel with a chap from Vancouver. We were discussing how we liked that the hotel was a few blocks from the conference centre so you could get outside, get some fresh air, wake up in the morning, unwind after the day. Then I said "if I didn't get outside, I'd go shack wacky". He laughed and commented how he loves how East Coasters talk. I asked him what term he'd use, which he replied 'cabin fever' but he liked 'shack wacky' better.

That's about the extent that I get.
