A lot of people are surprised I don't really have one (just a bit of a southern twang). They actually aren't super common here.

Everybody has an accent, the only question is if their accent is noticeably different to those around them.

The world revolves around America and unless you're not from the northeast, Midwest, or south you have one. Common knowledge.

According to Philly and the Northeast, I have an accent because I'm from Cali and don't have any dialects or diphthongs.

Speaking as someone from the Northeast, a hell of a lot of people here absolutely have an accent.

Even the type of speech most Americans think of as having NO accent (aka "standard" American) is actually a Midwest accent. It was just normalized by the media in the same way that baseline "Received Pronunciation" in England is basically an East Midlands accent.

How often do you say "wicked" and drop your Rs?

Bostonian. But I moved around with the Army during my time in service and it's not as heavy an accent as it once was. Spent about 4 years in Colorado and lost a bit of it.

I don't say wicked too much. And the R dropping isn't strong. My only big stand out is pronunciation of my back vowels. Mainly O and U.

I might slightly drop my Rs but it's very light.

But when I visit my cousins in Ohio, we go out to a bar and when I open my mouth, people automatically go "woah! Pahk the cah in hahvad yahd!"

I grew up in Iowa. Moved to the Chicago suburbs for a few years. I was told I had an accent. And I lived literally 230 miles away. 2.5 hour drive.

You do a poor job of coming across as sarcastic.
