Tags: linguistics fun fact! my strong tendency to speak like this has gotten me pegged as: south carolinan georgian minnesotan (accurate) canadian vaguely 'southern' vaguely 'midwestern' pacific northwestern i think alaskan once and a new yorker (actually there's some debate about that being accurate because everyone kind of agrees that i should've been born in brooklynn) (actually no in the bronx) (because when i learned to talk i had an inexplicable and EXTREMELY THICK bronx accent)
