I probably have some weird tism, but I generally dislike the people (it's mostly women) who do this sharp, piercing, whistly s sound when they speak. This bitch does that, so yeah.
I just want people to speak properly. That doesn't mean without accent or without inflections, but there are clear acquired mannerisms and affectations that just make communication harder.
There are over 8 ways to say "shibboleth". None of them involve vocal fry or whiny baby speak or a combination of the two.
It bothers me when I can't understand a co-worker because English is not their first language and they speak it brokenly with a very heavy accent.
I couldn't hire someone whose speech I have to constantly struggle to understand. People can call me a bigot for saying so, but good communication is a vital skill.

If you are allowed to prefer someone who is bilingual then you are allowed to not prefer someone because of their heavy accent.
