I question the sincerity of your statement.

But the painful truth, de Nugent says, is people with Rhode Island accents don't sound so bright. They drop Rs from words. (Ladder becomes ladda.) They add Rs to words. (Idea becomes idear.) Most especially, they emphasize their As. (Car becomes caaa.)

I thought that was more of a Boston accent?

FWIW, I happen to agree with the article. Not necessarily Rhode Island accents but I know when I hear my own NY accent I cringe because to me it sounds ignorant.

No remarks Churak!!!!!
