>>>>>>>>Wow, towards the end, the Wisconsin accent is really pronounced :o) Is that you? If so, you sound like every other Wisconsinite! :o)
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Yes that is me. I am affraid I have picked up the Wisconsin accent. Although if I stay too long in another state I change my accent slightly.

>>>>>>Wisconsin accents are cool.

>>>>>Did you catch the 'Soda Cooler?' :o)
>>>>
>>>>I almost said pop cooler or soda pop cooler :)
>>>
>>>It still stood out :o)
>>>
>>>All three phrases would stand out in the south :o) Here it is usually coke or tea. coke is everything (you specifiy the brand) and tea is sweet (no options). There are some folks who call it 'soda' but soda is not the most popular phrase everywhere in the south. You almost NEVER hear 'POP' or even 'SODA POP' unless it's a yankee in town :o)
>>
>>I asked for a soda pop at a resturant in Florida once and the waitress imediatels asked if I was from Wisconsin:)
>>I think calling soda coke is silly but I guess I do the same with kleenex, I asked for a kleenex one time (again in Florida) and the lady came back after a while and asked me if Puff brand was ok.

>Have you been in Wisconsin long enough that you no longer 'hear the accent?' :o)
I don't think I ever hear the accent. I always say that we do not have an accent here :) We speak just like they speak on TV. Northern Wisonsin (juupers) have a strong accent.
Semper ubi sub ubi.
