I saw a similar thread on another forum and thought this would be fun. Some say people from Michigan have an accent because words sound drawn out and mispronounced. Example: "milk" is "melk". And there are words like pop instead of soda, couch instead of sofa, and tennis shoe instead of sneaker. Those are just some. But to us, there isn't a "Michigan accent". News reporters around the country sound just like we do. What do you think - do you have an accent?

Some words here are how we say them in MI, some are not. "Melk" is definitely true!
