Midwest accent...

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!  I thought for sure that I had kicked my accent!  I have been trying to get over it since I acquired it back when we moved to MN...mostly on the word "boat".  This was all until yesterday when a gentleman came over to take some of our boxes that we placed on Craigs List.  He was a big hockey fan and pointed it out within our first few sentences with each other.  Oh well.  Next time I'll throw a "you betcha" in there just for fun and see what they say then.  I can turn on the "Fargo" if I need to...
