Regional Differences

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.

    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.
