Some of them I'm not really familiar with. I think I can imitate a NYC accent and a southern one. It takes quite a bit of listening for a foreigner to differentiate.

Cajun accent is unique, I don't know about correctness. The food is correct.

Flat tone no accent at all. In a perfect world this would mean no lies as well. In otherwords Cleveland, OH area is the perfect accent which is no accent at all. Accents cover up something, usually horrible lies.

British America, which is known as the 13 colonies. This would cover every state on the east coast from Delaware to West Virginia.

lmfao, you mean from Maine to Georgia. and florida is not part of the 13 colonies, so not the whole east coast

Uh no- do the research and you will find that I am not wrong. It's amazing how many people do not know their history. Florida was not included and where you got that I had included them is beyond me.

None are exactly "correct", but whenever you hear an accent different from yours, it sounds wrong. Personally, I like Jersey accents. How do YOU say water? :-)
