Regional Differences

Jul-31-2008 By christa

I’ve always lived in Indiana, but things are different up here. I grew up outside of Indianapolis, but now I live in the far northwest corner of the state. We’re considered part of Chicagoland.

People up here speak strangely. Not all of them… just some of them.

You know those little clips used to hold hair out of your face? Are those called buh-rettes or bar-rettes?

Settle the score for me, please.  Just curious.

  1. stacey Said,

    buh-rettes….. but then again I grew up in central Indiana. Down here in Tennessee they call them Buh-ray-ettes ya’ll :)

  2. Sharon Said,

    Barettes for me.

  3. Nana Said,

    Buh-rettes. Seeing how I am the main one responsible for teaching you to talk in the first place it would only stand to reason we would agree on that. Though there are a few things we pronounce differently. I still say it is the college education.

  4. Auntie Heather Said,

    Totally buh-rettes.

    I HAVE a BA-rette. He’s my son.:)

  5. Christa Said,

    :D Heather, you crack me up. I have one of those, too, but he’s my nephew. :)
