Westcoast US has no accent. Valley-gurl and surfer-talk don't count...that isn't an accent, but more a dialect (and a way of life...like, totally).

You're very correct. SoCal is truly w/o inflection and accent - we have no "umph" to our manner of speaking. That figures since we're all drunk off sunshine -- well, except in June.

I've heard that those in San Francisco speak differently from us because long ago - North Easterners, like New Yorkers and Bostonians settled S.F., while dustbowl types and Mid-Westerners settled So. Cal. Thus the accent.
