accents
My accent annoys me sometimes. Normally I don't have a heavy accent but every now and again I'll say watah. I actually responded to someone a while back when he said hi with, Yo, how you doin, in a really heavy accent. He just broke up laughing as did I. I have to wonder where the hell this comes from since we moved when I was 4.
So I'll have to go with the Long Island accent.
I don't know if this is an accent, but people end sentences with at drive me crazy. I.e. Where you taking your vacation at? Where's he at? Where's that at. First why are you ending a sentence with at? Second, the at is redundant, you already said where.
As an aside, I don't think you mean ebonics ABBA, isn't ebonics a form of language? Someone who knows more on that can perhaps speak to it.
