Accent of Detroit, both white and black

[dtowncitylover]

Being from a family all about their roots, some things in my family have never left. I still call a couch a davenport from time to time and the Tigers are the Taggers, for some strange reason, my grandma says it's the Penn Dutch INFLUENCE, not relation, on our family [[as we are originally from Lancaster, PA).

I believe the NY Times had an article last fall about Palin's accent and how it was confined to her Wassilla, Alaska town.

Also, Yoopers, at least the ones I've met, will be quick to deny they talk like Canadians. I've never thought that, though.
