It's All Noo Yawk To The Rest Of Us

The experts say that it's increasingly apparent that the end is near for the Queens accent. But IS there a Queens accent, or is it just a standard New York accent? Some say there's no accent at all, but some claim that you have to be a native to tell. And either way, with younger generations growing up with less of an accent of any kind and with other cultures moving in, whatever accent there IS in the borough is evaporating. Oh, yeah, take one guess whose picture illustrates the article. They couldn't resist making Fran Drescher the poster child for the Queens accent, could they?
