it bothers me not when someone tries to do the accent, but when someone makes fun of the accent.
ie- I'm from New Jersey. Everyone thinks is is hysterical to say "ahh, Joisey." DAMN IT-NO!!!!!!!
Everyone here says Jersey (JERZEE) the only people who ever say joisey are people from out of the tri-state area who think that is the way people talk. its not. kinda along the same lines when i say things like 'coffee, water, dog, etc' and people feel the need to try and correct my accent. its my accent, leave it alone. *yours* is not the right way to say it; in fact there is no way to say it. just leave it alone.
