So, I am originally from the East Coast and have spent my entire life on the East Coast ... Maybe that has led to an East Coast bias -- okay, it definitely has led to an East Coast bias.
Anyway, the reason I am running is that I was traveling today and heard the most annoying accent. It was a Midwest accent and every time the person opened his mouth, it felt like nails were running up and down a chalkboard. It probably did not help that the guy was an admitted tech geek and talking about the 5 terabytes (whoa, 5 TB -- should I be impressed) that he had in his house.
Guess that is what happens when you spend your entire life on one side of the country.

It's funny - I've been south of the Mason Dixon line for well over a decade, and the first thing that I think when I hear a serious drawl is that the person is an uneducated hick. I get past it. You can take the person out of the northeast, but you can't take the northeast out of the person.
And 5 terabytes is impressive. :)
