    I… get the joke now. 🤦‍♂️

    • Hey its not the worst word to get mixed up. Theyre barsly distinct in my accent with only a slightly harder T in profit being the notable difference. But then again I say wader so perhaps I aint the most valid example.

            That’s certainly strange. Especially to someone like me who doesn’t have an accent (/s I’m from where the tv accent actually is from). That said it’s hard to actually picture that

                Nah Cincinnati. They used to send newscasters there because it’s a particularly neutral accent. And thanks that actually helps a lot

                • Ah the older tv accent got it, kinda weird how neutral Cincinnati is accent wise given that south eastern Ohio is part of the Appalachians which are known for Scots-Irish with some particularly thick accents.
