Accents don't bother me much, I just hate mispronouncing words that every person who speaks English should know! :{

He also says that I went to "Warshington" High School instead of Washington. Oh, and conversate is another "word" I can't stand. You converse with another person...not conversate.

It actually irks me when people say "wah-ter" or "wor-ter"...it just sounds strange Just to clear it up though it's pronounced "wo-ter" right?

We just have areas that are very lazy with speech. I do see some similarities with some of the mispronunciations here and in some areas of the south, though.
