....accent, which is slightly different than the rest of the MW.

Back about 40+ years ago I worked hard to get rid of my Brooklyn accent, even when I was still in NY. For the most part it's gone, but my wife says that when I have a beer or two, it sneaks out.

But I'm certainly not trying to impress anyone, just like I'm sure when Clinton's sneaks out she's not doing it to impress anyone or win votes.

Bottom line - who really cares except "them"?
