This probably isn't the place to open up that can of worms though.

I'm a yankee from Chicago and still hear "You talk funny, you ain't from around here are ya?" from the folks down here in MS. I still have my Chicago style of talking/attitude. However, after 8 years of living in MS I have picked up just a slight accent. Very slight.

'Pontiac bonneville'
'Pontiac bonneville'
My father-in-law and I argue about it all the time because he pronounces it "BonnEville". With a hard "e".
I think he is right, but I'll never let him know that!

We pronounce it with the e my grandpa who happens to have been born in pennsyvania (sorry about the spelling) and moved to ny pronounces it with an 'a' but for for the most part I call it the 'black hole' because all the money I make from my mininum (spelt right??) wage job go into my bonnie
