I never really think about people from Chicago speaking any differently then they do in Cleveland. It's the Midwest so everyone basically sounds the same. (Or so I thought.)
I was teaching a lesson in the library a few weeks ago (currently I'm covering a maternity leave for a librarian). After the lesson was over I was chatting with another teacher that was in the library for my lesson and mentioned I was from Cleveland.
"Oh that makes sense now" -teacher
"What makes sense?" -me
"Your accent"-teacher
"I have an accent??" -me
"Oh yes, I can tell your not from around here"-teacher
Interesting.
