Where are the from? I know Californians who say they are going to “warsh the clothes” but that’s because they are Ohio transplants.
Warsh and Warshington are a Missouri/Illinois thing, NOT an Ohio thing. Their family was probably not originally from Ohio. Or maybe from the southern part of the state but we don't talk like that.
Oh I hate this

Another PhD in linguistics here. I can't wait to show this thread to my students for my sociolinguistics class. Thanks, DCUM!

Absolutely NOT a midwestern thing. I grew up in Ohio and Michigan and people don't talk like this. There's a reason all newscasters take on our accent.

No, I hate stupid people but you’ve overrun this odious site so I need to leave.
You know Black Americans are more likely to use a “non-standard” dialect and regionalisms, right? Being a judgey b1tch like this is both unbecoming and racist.
Yes, I’ve read that mathematics is apparently racist so now I should add proper diction and grammar to that list? That makes a tremendous amount of sense. Thanks for the edification.
Do not make light of the fact that grammar and punctuation are racist.

Do not deflect and be racist towards blacks. White trash ruined America and elected Trump
Well, I am the WT from Ohio who speaks like this. I voted for Hillary. And I just voted for T Mac.

Annnd there it is. I’m one who loves the regionalism but it’s not racist to think they are bad grammar or sound uneducated.

None of my Chicago family say this. We are half north siders and half south siders. There are plenty of Chicago regionalisms but this is not one of them. If you want to talk about the "frunch room" or dese, dem, and dose, then that's another thing.
My DH's family is from northwest Indiana and they say this too.
The only person I know who says this is from Indiana too.
A lot of people in NW Indiana are from Chicago. There was a massive white flight out of the city.
