My Accent, And furthermore why you should give a damn

People often say that people from Indiana do not have an accent. Well, it is true that in the north of the state, the accents are basically those of Chicago, Michigan, and the Eastern part of the country.
However, in the south of the state, you'll find the sound quite different. To explin it adequately, I will cite two sources: the movie Oklahoma and those commercials on Adult Swim advertizing the new Robot Chicken DVDs. If you can blend the accents of the actors in both, then you will have a general idea of the accent of my home region. In intonation, I actually sound rather like the actress who played Aunt Eller in Oklahoma though I have much better grammar. Now, my friend Jessica, who joined Shireroth just recently, is from Indianapolis and has a completely different accent.
Why should you give a damn? Well, you shouldn't ,but you've already read the whole thing, so it doesn't matter.
