My grandma who mostly raised me was from Brooklyn. Up until I started school as a kid, I sounded 100% Brooklynese.

Right?! And the weirdest thing is, I'll ask people to say "carry a basket" and they can do it, and then I ask them to say "Carrie" and they say "Kerry." WTF.

You mean hard hittin' New Britain?! "East Haven" is also one word with a silent "h." This state doesn't so much have an accent as a prejudice against innocent letters.
