    Pretty much just Standard American English. My parents have a moderate Great Lakes-influenced accent (close to General American but some adjustments around how vowels are proncounced, maybe others)..so that was also part of my "education".

    We think of those accents as sounding 'rough' or even tough.

    Honestly I don't know. I "learned" English only in elementary school. It is not usual here but I didn't learn it in high school.
