what catch phrases would you like to see....er hear
Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!
You should know what your "accent" sounds like even if it sounds normal to you. We all have an accent of some sort and we can tell how it differs when people from other areas talk to us.
I'm really falling in love with the English accent. *dreamy sigh*
Actually, I just realized, despite living my whole life in this part of the country, I sound nothing like a midwest person. Every few weeks I get someone who thinks I'm a foriegn exchange student.
In all my travels I have discovered that I don't sound American..........no matter where I go, ppl ask me where my accent is from.........so evidently, it's not an American accent, otherwise I'd eventually find a spot where ppl think it sounds normal and don't ask where it's from.

God, Grant us the peace that comes from honest dealings so that no fear of discovery will haunt our sleep May we inflict no pain, bring no shame, and seek no profit by another's loss.

The same goes for styles of clothing..........what's popular say in Washington State may not be so in Wisconsion, and what's popular in Wisconsion might not be all that popular in Tennessee......
This is very true. My cousins live only an hour away from me, and they constantly harrass me about not only the way I say certain words, but also the words I choose to say. What they call "soda" I call "pop." And being from Wisconsin, I know a lot of people would say that we drag out our vowels. I am in Forensics at school (and for those who dont know what 4n6 is, its sorta like a speech/debate/interpretive speaking team) and the coach constantly tells us not to talk like we are from WI.
Its also kinda strange how fads travel the country. Some relatives in CA started their obsession with Beany Babys almost a full year before they became popular here.
Now that's a good question...
Someone said it once... then someone else... then someone else...
Then it's been passed around so that all kinds of people are now saying it!
