general Things you say differently despite where you live?

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,311]

Never had to go through trouble of saying things differently, unless a different language is fully needed for a distant place.

I live in the south, but I sometimes sound northern since my dad was from up north. I'm referring to the southern and northern parts of the USA east coast.

Americans tend to have a different system that they use for things such as a 12 hour clock or the metric system compared to the rest of the world. I tend to use both interchangeably (like a Canadian). Also, I took one of those geography of my vocabulary tests and the results suggested Northeast Megalopolis (where I live) but also costal California for some reason.

I live on Earth, however, I try to speak correctly and logically. I say "next weekend" when I refer to the Saturday and Sunday that is coming up. For example, if it is Friday, the 7th, then Saturday the 8th is next weekend, because it is logical and true. Alarms don't go off, they go on.

Born and raised in Texas so I'm pretty Southern, but there's a few speech habits such as pronouncing the WH sound in words like HW (HWere, HWen, HWale, etc) and for some reason I sound a little Irish (for example I pronounce "days" like "dehs") also apparently "pecan" around here is pronounced like pee-can and not p'cawn

I don’t really say much that would be considered unusual for any locality. I do often spell things the ‘English’ way though, like using two Ls for words like ‘Travelling’ instead of the American version, ‘Traveling.’

Since seeing it on Rick and Morty I've been saying "par-mee-sian".

Yet they don't say "pardon psyche".

I tend to not adhere myself to "murican" English. The generalization of it is frustrating to me, so I avoid it. Especially considering different states will have different accents and pronunciations as well so...I don't see the point of such a broad term. 

One example for me personally is that I pronounce herb as it is spelled. Also I don't know how uncommon this is but I pronounce iron as "eye-run" instead of "eye-urn". Urn and Run are just two letters flipped so that's a surprisingly interesting way of putting it, I realize.
