Being from Southern Ohia, I work with a guy from North Alhmstead, or North Olmstead! lol He definately drags out his O's! lol I describe our accent as souther appalachian hillbilly!

I could never understand how some New York City area (Brooklyn?) folks ever learned to reverse the "er" and "oi" sounds in words.

Maybe the way you pernounce your woids is a matter of cherce.
