Well I responded to them. Sort of.

No you did. I don't play for the exceptions though my friend. If you want successful change, their has to be collateral damage.

Theres always a 3% margin of error.

The Michigan accent is funny. I kind of like it though.

For people who don't know what it sounds like, not sure if I can find a video of it but I can describe it: It's fairly nasal and slightly Canadian sounding. Vowels are heavily flattened so that words like "flag" end up sounding like "flaeg" and words like "bob" end up sounding like "bahb".

The reason I was laughing a while ago when dac claimed that they train news anchors to speak like they are from Cleveland is because a Cleveland accent is fairly similar to a Michigan accent.

I was talking about the more obscure (to the international audiences anyway) American accents. Everyone's seen Gone baby gone...

For the record, No ones seen gone baby gone.

Also, for the record, Hollywood is notoriously bad at getting the Boston accent right. Although Ben and Casey Affleck are okay because they're from the area.

The Michigan accent seems closer to a Canadian than Cleveland accent. And for whoever questioned the Cleveland accent, it has to do with how we say our "A's." Also we throw unnecessary articles such as "at" in our sentences. Most would say "Where's my coat?" Clevelanders say "Where's my coat at?"

Not to people who aren't from Cleveland it doesn't.

The departed has some balls. That was fairly close. And Mark Wahlberg was top notch.
