Fun fact in Michigan we have both Native American and French roots, so a lot of our words are a mix of both those histories: Detroit, Grand Blanc, Mackinac, Tittabawasse, etc. Due to our history with both we incorporate both pronunciations in our talking. We use French liaisons such as: Je aime = J’aime. Ours are lazy liaisons or lazyasons which cause a lot of our spoken words to run together: Secretary of State = Secretariastate, or , did you eat + d’jeet or just jeet. That is thanks to our French history

Your accents are very similar to ours that down south some folks think I’m a Canadian. I’ll tell them I am just to mess with them. I’ve noticed the biggest difference between Michigan and Ontario is that you drink Cahffee and watch Hawkey while we drink Cawffee and watch Hah-key.

I somehow thought Meijer had an invisible “s” on the end growing up and never questioned it. But the small town I grew up in had tons of businesses named after the owner with a possessive, like Perch’s IGA and Jimmy’s Party Store that we would shorten to just Perch’s and Jimmy’s, so it just made sense. Also, I’ve noticed the “ope” changes regionally. Where I’m from, it sounds more like “up”. Our accent has accents. And don’t even get me started on the people who can’t tell a yooper accent from that of someone living an hour south of the bridge.

@@RyanRedoute Thanks Ryan! True, funny all the same here, but living in Wisconsin I can tell the various accents apart, wish those subtleties wouldn't be lost by our popular culturists. You give a wonderful presentation noting the details, many thanks!

Ryan you had me cracking up. These are so true! 🤣

I like how you crack yourself up, very fun to watch! My family omits Ts regularly. "Winner" instead of Winter and "paining" instead of painting. I've also noticed that Ooh, Oh and Aah sounds become exaggerated. With Oohs and Ohs we make tight circles with our lips and with Aahs we kind of broaden our mouth and stretch the lips across our teeth.

I don' have a speech impediment, I'm from Michigan. We stop all breaths from our lungs because it's cold and we are saving our warm breaths.

​@@RyanRedoute Sorry, bro. I'm from the UP. Isn't cold but gets snow 9 months of the year. Hated it when everything turned to slush then come the night and it freezes over (past tense because moved away few yr ago). But yeah, you're right, isn't cold else we yoopers are just use to it.

Portage girl here. I never even realize that I don't put emphasis on the T in my own city 😂😂 I never really knew I had an accent until I went to Tennessee on vacation and they were like where are you from 😂 Also I said Pop and they had absolutely no clue what that meant.

I grew up in Michigan and the only part of my “accent” I’ve changed is I call pop soda, which is because it’s easier than explaining I’m from Michigan every day when I say pop lol

Lived in mi my whole life and it crazy I’ve never noticed any of this!!! Cool video man!!!

Here, because I've been told on more than one occasion that I have a Michigan accent 🤔... born and raised in Arkansas, as well as my parents. I'm literally blown away right now...

I don’t like to waste time so I appreciate the blending of words together. It makes it easier to get out of conversations faster 😂
