[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do people know where you’re calling from? Surely phone bankers block their numbers from caller ID. I mean, no one hears my accent and thinks I’m from Georgia, but lots of people from Michigan sound just like people from Ohio (where I grew up). Now that I think about it, Stacey Abrams sounds a lot like me.[/quote] I do not think the Michigan or Ohio accents are similar at all (Ohio is more Appalachian, Michigan is more Canadian). However, I do think that because of the Great Migration, there are "later"-arriving AA families from the South that sound similar in Detroit or Flint to Georgia. Until you ask them to "pop" or "party store" or "orange" and then the vowel-less Michigan accent comes out strong. [/quote]
