Krush2k2 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 [quote name='Colleen' date='Jan 7 2005, 01:04 AM'] Most native Texans, for example, use a flat "i", saying "naht" for night and "rahd" for ride, and they don't make any audible distinction when pronouncing such words as "pool" and "pull" or "fool" and "full." Midwesterners, by contrast, exhibit their own characteristic linguistic quirks, such as something experts call a fronted "o" in words like "about." [/quote] They must have done this research in some spot called Snake Ranch where the people are living like those seen on THE VILLAGE. This article is I never say 'yall' referring to one person, neither does anyone else I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
