..Richard Roeper, on language..

[GSCole]

The 4 DEC 2001 column of Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper,
titled "New Yorkers say we're the ones who talk funny",  expresses his
views, somewhat, about a "Midwestern accent", as compared to that of New
Yorkers.  His comments are not necessarily prepared for an academic
audience, and I'm not sure if that is good or bad.
