and the majority of the country has that accent although there are always localized linguistic oddities but overall the Utah accent is the same one as most of the rest of the country.

I'll stop making fun of Utahns when they learn to pronounce "crayon," "miracle,"

The Utah county accent is hilarious to me because most don't even realize they have it.

No one realizes they have an accent...

Interesting that Utah has shifted more toward "soda" than "pop" based on those

benny1982

8/9/18 1:49pm

That's the one positive trend

When I was a kid in Utah, no one I knew said “soda”. Now, no one I know says “pop”.

My sister still does. Drives me crazy.

Same. Except for me. I still say pop. I'm old school.

Wait, that people say cauleeflower? That just sounds gross.

Don't knock it until you try it. Dalmatianflower isn't bad either, with a side of kimchi and rice.

jdub

Yes. However, most people point out the way we say mountain as something

CSoul

8/9/18 1:53pm

Agreed, though there is another pronunciation that is definitely unique to Utah.

benny1982

8/9/18 1:56pm

True, but most of the mocking is from the t being absent

CSoul

It's a legit regional accent; love it and wear it with pride 🙂
