Yo, homie! I'm from Craaaannnnsston, but, to quote quintessential ProJo cartoonist Don Bousquet, I've since had the nasal whine removed...
My wife never lost her accent....I never had one...except for the fruit ORANGE....which to this day I still pronounce AH RINGE.
My lovely wife used to get the strangest looks outside of RO DY LUND when she would ask the store clerk for a CAHTUN OF LAHKS cigarettes.
And never mind when she asked if they had KAWFEE ice cream!!!
