W(ho)TF talks like that? How do those two words rhyme?

Some of my family will say bag and beg like "baig". Same with leg, "laig".

Said I was midland or don't have an accent and that "You have a good voice for TV and radio". I was in radio for 13 years, go figure. I always tried to speak "proper" english and not like most around here. Born and bred in western NC.

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

Nailed my accent.

When you say Wisconsin, you've said it all
