Actually, I was talking about sports people on tv from that area. When I was up there many years ago, the ones in MN, WI, etc did not enunciate any better than anyone else. The one thing my church choir director taught us back in the 80’s was to enunciate and even overdo it in some songs. He even had a picture of a camel opening his mouth to illustrate crescendo. I have come across Catholic singers and speakers and could not understand a word they were saying. Other networks are just as bad. I have changed stations due to that. That is why I usually have the tv turned to the Easy Listening station. No words. I like some of he others but some have enunciation problems. I remember one song, years ago. I sat here trying to figure out what was being said during the whole song. Is really a shame.
Good story!
Growing up in Indiana, I acquired (I suppose) a Hoosier ‘accent’.
The day Reagan was shot, my teenage daughter and I were traveling to Disneyworld in Florida, and stopped at a local McDonalds in the middle of Georgia somewhere.
As we sat down to eat our food, she leaned over and said softly, “Dad; they sure talk funny down here!”
I replied, “No, Honey; WE are the one’s talking funny ‘down here’!”
