      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.
