When I was an Uber driver, like 10ish years ago, people would ask if I was from the US (I live in the US) often. Apparently the way I pronounce some things can come across as having an accent, which I don’t see. I think the only thing I pronounce differently is dollar; doh-llar. Why? I have no idea. At first I’d be like “nope, born and raised in this city”, but after a while I would lean into it, for fun. I’d ask “where do you think I’m from?”, and then respond with a country that is adjacent to their guess. It was always Eastern European, which I do have some distant lineage, but far far removed. I would then follow it up with the “just kidding, born and raised here” and we’d all have a good laugh. 🤷🏻‍♀️
