It is useful for anyone interested in the linguistic features of this dialect, and the author's personal experience as a native Chicagoan adds a relatable and authentic perspective. The inclusion of audio samples is also helpful for those who want to hear the dialect in action. Overall, it is a well-written and informative post. <br /><a href="https://engdic.org" rel="nofollow"><b>engdic</b></a>cwishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749903174898547370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17874090.post-69452053914699818342021-10-01T01:02:13.231-04:002021-10-01T01:02:13.231-04:00I'm commenting on this blog from Kansas City ,...I'm commenting on this blog from Kansas City , I saw comments from people who had already got their loan from Mr Pedro Jerome a US based loan officer.

However, what about this? suppose you added a little information? I am not suggesting your information isn't good, but suppose you added a title to possibly grab a person's attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is kinda vanilla. You should glance at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create news headlines to get people to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've written. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit more interesting.erectile dysfunctionhttps://besterectiledysfunctionpills.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17874090.post-60263523370371006122020-11-24T21:48:10.131-05:002020-11-24T21:48:10.131-05:00These are actually enormous ideas in concerning bl...These are actually enormous ideas in concerning blogging.

I find caw to be used more on the southside and cah more on the northside. Listen to any tapes of either Mayor Daley and how they pronounce Chicago with the caw sound. I had a friend from Evergreen Park who spoke the same way. The Daley family is from Bridgeport on the southside. I am originally from Waukegan, where I believe most, but not all, say it with the cah sound.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17874090.post-47326533759764874972013-12-02T13:56:16.650-05:002013-12-02T13:56:16.650-05:00I have confused people when my stories of growing ...I have confused people when my stories of growing up in Chicago include 'cutting through a gangway'.

But pretty much everything you guys have said is spot on. And btw, I pronounce Chicago (Shi-cah-go) :) And those of you who said we end our sentences w/ the word "with" is soooo right! I think we have a tendency to end our sentences with different prepositions. i.e. "Where y'at?" So anyway, thanks for writing this!

The only time I've heard somebody with that really thick, Blues Brothers type Chicago accent was from a middle aged white man from the near south side (Bridgeport?). I've lived in the area for most of my life and I had to have him repeat some of what he was saying, his accent was so thick and he spoke so fast! As for the rest of us, it seems to be a good mix of the Chicago accent and Minnesotan; bag sounds a bit like beg, phone sounds more like phoon, car is curr, etc. They're very similar, but there's a difference!<br />I'd link a recording of myself speaking, but I don't think it's a true accent since I moved from New Hampshire to Florida to Northern Illinois to here (Jefferson Park; "Jiff Perk").Bonnie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00121369998220850104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17874090.post-45608218955838223172012-01-23T05:01:41.932-05:002012-01-23T05:01:41.932-05:00@Anonymous, 1:06 PM: I think people automatically ...@Anonymous, 1:06 PM: I think people automatically assume Jewish people sound like they're from New York. The sad part is, this doesn't happen to just uncultured country people. I'm not Jewish, but one of my best friends from Detroit is. He has a normal Detroit/Michigan accent (which isn't too different from the Chicago accent, but I notice a lot of differences... but that's because I think about it too much). But when we were in college (at a small school in rural Michigan), people — like, people from the town that didn't travel much, not necessarily fellow students — would always be surprised when they found out he was Jewish. Like, "Oh really? You're Jewish? That's weird! You don't SOUND Jewish!" I think the implication being that all Jews lived on the East Coast.<br /><br />Anyway, I've noticed Hollywood sometimes gets this wrong too. There's this movie with Susan Sarandon that takes place in St. Louis (I can't remember the name of it), but there are a bunch of Jewish characters in it, but they all sound like they're from New York.<br /><br />All this to say that: Midwestern accents exist! And they span all cultures!
