This isn’t hard to believe, but Pittsburgh is in a contest for America’s Ugliest Accent. What’s even easier to believe is that we’re doing pretty well (if that’s a good thing).
Pittsburghese, as it’s known, is pretty painful to hear when spoken properly. Both Pitt and CMU have webpages that do a pretty good job of explaining some of the finer points of this language, but they just don’t do it justice…
Should I be happy or sad?
