I agree with you about the midatlantic accent being distinct. Would you also consider the AA Baltimore accent as midatlantic with the teeww, deew pronunciations. I know many people also say urea, curry, etc. Also would you consider someone from Norfolk, or Richmond as sounding more southern or midatlantic?
Richmond (and 7cities) is southern not mid Atlantic. Period. End of story.

When I was in Richmond, everybody used "G@d damn" like you would say "uhhh" in the middle of a sentence as if getting their thoughts together. Thats pretty southern.

True somewhat, but if you don't go, how will you know? Virginia is a very unique
place. Everybody there is not from there, so a lot of people don't sound the same.
Richmond and Hampton Roads are very different. Hampton Roads' (757) black accents
are way way more east coast than dc, if ya ask me, because you have all that u.s.
military transient culture there. Richmond has more of the usual southern dialects,
because it is more inland and regional I guess.
anyway, what is mid-atlantic really? states squeezed between the north and the south?
what is that? either you're northern or southern in my book, so make up ya minds.

Well....they do this in Chicago too. My cousins and the folks he was around did this all the time.
Well neither region wants to claim us, so it is what it is yo.
Hmmm, that's how you feel? I thought it was the other way around.
What about New York, since it is also part of the Mid-Atlantic as
much as Virginia and parts of North Carolina and all the states between
them are?
