It's funny some people here in MN say I am truly a Minnesotan because of how thick my O's are. Like minnesoooooota. LOL but others don't point it out.

I think a lot of it depends on if I'm tired or not.

Anyway that's what it means to me, in my lexicon. Which I'm sure is limited.

Interesting discussion. It's so easy to associate "types" with accents. I feel like my (non?) accent makes me even more invisible.

I see what you are saying. Fran Drescher could be an example of an abrasive voice as it plays on people's nerves but I love her. Not all abrasive things are rejected.

I just completely disagreed with the oppressive comment.

You are the mistress of your own destiny. Want to be seen? Then show us you! You're not invisible.
