MI accent
I still find myself saying things with a michigan accent or terms that are michigan-specific Even though I was only there for the first 10 years of my life, it got embedded into my vocab :giggle:

LOL! Several of those go for IL, too, although we Chicagoans have our own way of saying a few others.

Whoa.. we have an accent here? Seriously.. do we? I had no idea. LOL!! I have always wondered about that. I’ve lived here for 33 years. I wonder what I sound like? Hmm

Okay I just had to post again. I read through those word and I don’t pronounce them the way they say we do.. what’s with "apartment" becomes "aparh... meh..." Huh? No way.. that’s just not right! I always use my t’s. Hrrmmph.
