Reply to comment by poutine-pal in Snowy "Three Deckers", Worcester, MA by rrsafety

For a native, I don't really have anything resembling an accent but when I say triple decker, that R is no where to be found.

Same!! Central MA natives very rarely have that stereotypical “Massachusetts” accent, but with certain words it just comes right out lol.

Pretty sure it’s aging out. Being raised by boomers and older, it was very strong. My kindergarten teacher said drawer like “draw-ah”. My mom said Saturn like “Satin”. I still put “r” where there’s no R.
