As a fellow New Jerseyan, this is wrong. Say "Water" or "Twenty" and then realize that you aren't pronouncing the Ts that are obviously there. It's "water," not "wadder." Also, I'm pretty sure that the New York/New Jersey area is the only that say "o" when they mean "zero," but I could be wrong about this. And, yes, everyone else is right, a news reporter's voice is the closest you can get to "accentless."

I said "wooder" and "two/eny"

I live closer to philly than I do to central/north, so

Do you pronounce the "o" in "origin" and "horrible" as an "ah" sound?

[sir dooble]

How would you even not say wadder and twenny I don't understand how you couldn't it's like ugh.

It's called being able to pronounce words properly.
It's laziness that means you don't pronounce the t in water.

I don't have an accent. :'(

Everyone has an accent. Just the fact that accents exist means you have one. If someone else has an accent and sounds different to you then you obviously sound different to them and therefore have an accent.

Is it also laziness that brits don't pronounce the r in water?
No, it's the accent. It has nothing to do with laziness, it's just how people grew up speaking.

I don't. I say "Ore-ih-gin," but I'm not so certain how I say horrible. I'm pretty sure those are different "o"s. I'll probably record myself speaking once I have some quiet. Either way, the stereotypical New Jersey accent is totally off (at least for where I am from), but the actual accent is nowhere near "accentless" imo.

Which brits? There's a lot of us.
I dont know how you can't pronounce the r in water. Otherwise you're just saying "wort".
im not familiar with that phenomenon.

Also, I'm happy to say that an accent can come about from cultural laziness towards pronounciation.
Which includes actively avoiding key syllables to words.

Non-rhotic accents like standard british pronounce R's as "ah" at the end of a syllable.
A general american speaker would say "wadder", a general british speaker would say "wotah".
Americans pronounce the t "wrong", and British pronounce the r "wrong". Neither is more valid than the other.
