    I love the look on his face when she says "You're welcome" at the end. It's as if he's saying, "Oh, she... she, she actually replied."

      Marc Martin 1st Not really, more like the most annoying accents in America! Southern is too slang and twang, and Boston accent is not even proper English! Boston doesn't even pronounce their R's in a simple sentence! So no, Boston accent is just annoying. I rather listen to a Southerner talk!

I had this one Conductor who is a Southie, and you can REALLY hear his accent 🤣🤣. He's the FUNNIEST Conductor I have EVER met too in addition to his accent! I live in the DC area, but I Amtrak a lot to and from New England to visit my mom's side with my mom. I spent the first 7 years of my life in Mass near Foxborough.

    He wasn't even using Siri so she could understand his accent. The first two scenarios were accurate. After that he just started goofing around with Siri. Plus Siri recognized the things he said in the Boston accent. Asking for next week's Power Ball numbers....? This was just not what I was hoping.

    The 'at', I guess because of the 'a' sound, sort of kicks an 'r' onto the word 'car.' To a person from California, it'd be spelled "pahk my car at hahvahd yahd" even though it'd be "pahk my cah."

    There were originally multiple variants on the accent one that wealthier bostonians use and one that more working class bostonians used. They are not as distinct anymore and I don't know where you are from but I am sure you have an accent and just don't realize it so try not to judge others.
