I don't sound like a country bumpkin and don't have a strong accent of any type. Occasionally there's a very light Chicago accent, but growing up out in the suburbs I never picked a strong one up. And as weak as it was 25 years ago when I left, it's softened even since then.

But I can't stand the tone. I don't know if it's real, but somehow I hear a "nasal" quality to it that I absolutely hate.


That's a Midwest thing, but I don't have it, thankfully.

No Chicago accent either, being from the NW side/burbs and all.

Dat's more of a Sout Side Ting.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

A bird crashed into my window today. I opened the door, and it was just lying on it's back twitching on the porch. All of a sudden another bird of the same species swooped in, grabbed it up, and flew off with it. 

I didn't know that they did that. 

I think they were doves. Both were fully grown.
