that's fantastic! Wheah ah you fahm? but, pretty much every state or region has it's own dialect and what have you. and like i said above, i think the "midwestern" is prolly categorizing the rural midwest. i seem to generally use midwestern terminology (i've lived here since i was 3) and some southern phraseology ("y'all" and other words, tho generally for shits and giggles). so i dunno.
