You know, the accent question is something I've wondered about after growing up in relatively accent-free Connecticut. Having spent several years in each of Philly and Boston and knowing a ton of people from New Jersey and New York -- both the city and upstate -- I've heard my share of regional accents.
And I consistently argue that we from Connecticut do not have a discernable accent. Someone in the comments mentioned dropping T's in the middle of words like "Clinton" or "winter" as a distinctive Connecticut trait, and I notice that it's something I definitely do.
What do you think? Is there a "Connecticut accent"?
