now I know most of you may have heard about Boston slangs.
but one i love is.
"JAEET" or JAEET YET" which is asking someone. did you eat yet.
I also find a lot of those slangs from Michigan simular to Boston tounge.
we just like to drop our R'*

Before we get too far down a road we probably don't want to go, I, for one, don't think that because we in Michigan (or anywhere else) speak with our own accent (which makes me laugh, I talk normal...it'* all you non-Michigan people who speak funny anyways :P ) in any way of speaking butcher the English language, as some have suggested. English is like any other language-there are regional differences. Even you who claim to ennuciate and speak perfect English ( ), have nothing to talk about-there isn't one correct English per se, so don't make it sound like anyone is "incorrect".

If you think that is racist or stereotypical, I guess the same could be said for the very subject of this thread...basically this thread addresses a stereotype of Michiganders.
