Just a regional dialect question: are you from Ohio, or at least the general northern Midwest?
No. Born Florida, raised mostly in Idaho with Montana, Washington, Florida mixed in, then Alaska, where I even spent one winter living in Wasilla, unknowing neighbor of Sarah Palin. My English is mixed—warsh or wash, pop or soda, etc. Sometimes just to irritate people. Adult everywhere, 19 years in Northern Virginia, five in northern New York, plus California, Texas, Florida, New Mexico, and various length visits to around 50 countries. Other than North Chicago in the Navy, not much beyond visits or short stays in the midwest.
