Abrasive means rough, not good or bad. Just like some people have gravely voices. Their voice might be described as 'gritty'. Some make careers out of it, like Joe Cocker.

I hear what you're saying, but "abrasive" will always have negative connotations to me. It means something that gets on someone's nerves.

Anyway that's what it means to me, in my lexicon. Which I'm sure is limited.

Interesting discussion. It's so easy to associate "types" with accents. I feel like my (non?) accent makes me even more invisible.
