I was born in Philadelphia and then lived in Wayne,Pa. until I was 8 years old. I can relate to a few of these though. Me and my brothers always tease my Mom,who is from Butler,Pa.,when she says toast because she says it like toost with a long o sound.

We moved to Greenville,S.C. when I was 8 so I ended up picking up a southern accent along the way. I never realised this until I moved to Ca. because in S.C. people always said that I sounded like I had a northern accent. Now when I talk to a friend who still lives in S.C., she sounds very southern but she didn't when I used to live in S.C.
