It’s been my experience that while everyone has an accent

Not true. People from Washington and Oregon have very little accent.

Of course you do

People from Washington say "baig" instead of "bag"

You thinking of Wisconsin?

Exactly. Living in Seattle, we teased one of my Wisconsin co-workers for saying it.

Probably leaked over the border from Washington into Canada

People really don't hear it well when they live in it. It's natural

My family from Ore-gone and Warshington disagree.

I served my mission in Washington. I noticed people said Wushington.

Those people weren’t actually from Washington though.

Lol. Her Majesty the Queen would laugh at that statement.

People from Washington talk nasally

True.

I think it's pretty clear there is a "neutral" American accent. Lots of people don't speak with one,

A neutral accent is more leaned

The internet is going to homogenize everything eventually. Especially language.

8/9/18 2:55pm

Eventually. It may take a while.
