I was all geared up for another edition of Monday Mingle,
but there weren't any questions posted this week!
So instead I stumbled across this dialect vlog and thought it might be fun.
Verdict is still out on whether or not I have an accent.
I say no. I've been told yes.
I'll let you be the judge!

Okay, so Water can also be "wooder" (said like that, still spelled the same)...trust me. Some people around me say that.
Then "wash" is like "wersh"...they throw a random "r" in there. My dad says that, makes me laugh ;) He grew up near Philly though and there is some distinct differences.
And I totally say SHERBERT like your husband. NEVER even heard it said the same way as you. I swear, everyone around here says it with the "r" in it. And I swear that our packaging even has the "r" in it. SWEAR. I'm in PA close to philadelphia. So, yea. Total differences. It's so funny.
I may have to do this vlog :)
Yep, I knew it. You are ridiculously cute!
You should have done milk or pillow. Or as you say them "melk" and "pellow".
Thanks for reminding me about that tp'ing incident. That made me laugh out loud.
LOL! Yup, definitely would suck at the accents here! I wanted to let you know that I tagged you in my "10 things I love", check it out!
Okay, I, too, say "Tennis Shoes".. my granny used to shorten it to "tennies" LOL! Also, when it's raining and the sun is shining it my mom says, "the Devil is beating his wife".... weird, I know! Don't you feel so enlightened now? LOL!
Great post! I've only heard it pronounced sherBERT (I'm from Texas, btw), and I'm pretty sure it's written that way too on the carton.
Nice. I match you on every answer except two! I pronounce syrup like "sir-up" and we call your "roly-polys" potato bugs. Fun :) I grew up in OR and WA, so I guess the PNW and the midwest are sort of similar. No, you don't have an accent!
Um...so I can't watch this at work but I'm keeping it starred for tonight at home. I may actually have to do this one too. :)
I'm from Oklahoma, and I say almost all of these the same way. Except syrup, I say sir-up. And, I think I say cue-pon. And I only learned that it was sherBET a couple years ago! I always used to say sherbert. But, I read it on the container one day and was like, huh, never knew that! My dad says worsh instead of wash. I make fun of him a lot for that :)This was a fun one!
Very cool! I've seen this dialect vlog thing on several blogs, I just may join the band wagon and do it too!
I'm from Texas and I pronounce everything pretty much the same way you do too.and I too do not say "ya'll". lol.
Ohmygosh!! How cute are you?? Honey, talk about an accent... Mine is so profound and I never knew it. You have inspired me to do a vlog on accents... Most everyone in KY turns a long I into a short I so we say all sorts of things differently- and I'm sorry I'm with your hubby-sher-bert!!! Even though I'm sure we're wrong!
If you watch any movie with the Affleck brothers in Boston that would clear up water and fire. Kinda how Kate described it- it's like watah or fiyah with a Boston accent.
Oh and also- I totally say sherbeRt and I've never heard someone say sherbet EVER.
