[Ads-l] "Linguistic notes from all over"

[Wilson Gray]

>From YouTube:

I am from Illinois! What I've noticed about the St. Louis accent is that
sometimes words like "before" sound like the person is saying "be-FAR."

Apparently, some traces of the traditional St. Louis Corridor dialect
linger on.
