I seems I do indeed have a Pittsburghese accent...
I never thought I had much of one, but now that I'm living in central Ohio, people laugh at the way I pronounce some things.

1. I went on a canoeing trip in Ontario
Everyone else in the group was from Toronto. I noted that Torontans have a very distinctive accent and someone said, "No, you have the accent." Since I was in the minority and a guest in their fair country, I had to concede the point.
