"I Like The Way You Talk."

Monday, April 25, 2005 | 0 Comments

Well, it's official, my dialect is just average American with a bit of Upper Midwest + Yankee thrown in. Yankee? What exactly is that? Is that where "er"s turn to "ah"s? Not me. Upper Midwest- duh! Yankee- I don't think so!

But this really doesn't even touch my accent! That's German + quite a bit of Canadian spoken with an Irish twang, usually described as "funny" and/or "cute".

I'm from Michigan. How I got 0% midwestern, and only 15% Upper midwestern, I don't know.

Maybe that's why people in grade school made fun of how I talked...
