every day I am shocked the Midwest accent is real
#I just didn't KNOW that many people who had noticeable midwest accents until I like. moved here.#though my grandmother was originally from minnesota before that side of the family moved to washington when she was small#and you could occasionally hear it in certain words#(one of many scandinavian-american families that went 'this weather sucks' and moved from the midwest to the west coast)#I have a pnw accent which is one of the lesser-known regional american accents#I don't know if it's still very strong but at one point it was noticeable enough that people kept commenting on it#in a 'what the fuck is that' kind of way because most people don't know the pnw accent exists#but I also confuse people because I lived in the South for so long#I don't have a southern accent but I do have some dialect quirks that have been picked up over the years#the people who have been most confused about my accent have been canadians from bc lol#the bc accent is very very close to a washington accent but not identical#then I said 'y'all' and they gave up and went 'where...are you from. what is that.'#(this is a true story)#I also now say parking deck which I *think* is a georgia thing? or that part of the south anyway#I never heard it before I moved to atlanta#your girl
