"Adrian"?.....awwww.....can he change his name to Seamus? Oh well. Can't win em' all, I guess. *** Jersey, I know what you mean. For the most part I sound normal to myself but, every once in awhile I'll break out an 'eh?' or an 'or no?' and 'You betcha' and don't realize it. I have a friend who moved here from Nebraska when I was in junior high. He became my best friend through graduation and then he moved to Florida for college. At his graduation I went to down to celebrate and after a few hours he like, Dude, I knew you had an accent but, I didn't realize it was that bad." after I asked his friend, "You graduate with Dave, or no?"I can usually keep it under control - as far as I know. That's why my You tube vids are so cut, because I have to do several shots and re-shoots if I find I'm messing up. Of course, I've got 'Ust'a could'. 'Ain't' is in my regular vernacular. 'Ya.' 'Der' ("What's he doing up der?") I use 'Old Tyme' words, mostly for comedic effect but, I use them so much they've become subconscious: "Something's wrong with my computer-machine." "There's a play on the tele-radio I want to view." (a show on TV) I'll say the whole 'Cellular Telephone Device' but, just 'cell' in print. These are ALL words I speak in regular conversation and I'll carry a lot of them into print (unless I'm being paid for an article, or something.) *** Mist. ......where was the driver?!!!

I wish I could discuss this more but Classic would not want that for some reasons.
But what I can say is we are from two different States and our accents are not alike at all. He comes from a place where Colas are called Pop instead of Soda, and there's many phrases that his Family and he use and we don't and vice-versa.
I'm not sure what a Jersey accent is on it's own but you definitely don't talk like me or Classic. Phil talks different from us, and I'm not sure I remember Mahnarch's accent when not speaking like a Pirate. (unless that was his normal voice.)
For Jersey I'd say you have your territorial accent, but I don't think you called your State "Joisey" like sometimes stereotyped.

HA! That IS my normal voice!!!! Kidding. I have an, apparently, deep voice that I can keep in a "normal" accent if I concentrate. My 'Yooper' usually comes out when I'm frustrated or been drinkin'. Maybe, if you're lucky, I'll let it all fly in a vid. *** If you call pop 'soda', that puts you below the Mason-Dixon line, BG. WE HAVE YOU NARROWED DOWN TO A QUARTER OF THE COUNTRY!!!! Muah ha ha ha ha!!! Of course, you could be Nebraskan, which voids that.
