Tee-hee-hee. We can never get rid of all of it, can we? I only have one word that people can catch me on, and they will say - "you aren't originally from DE, are you"? It's lobster - pronounced "lobstah"

My brother that passed away, NEVER lost any of his accent. He lived his last 30+ years in FL, but if you talked to him on the phone, you would swear that you were talking to one of the Kennedy brothers!
