Nov. 28, 2007 - New Business Moo-ving to Central Ohio

I just heard it on Channel 6 News there is a new dairy farm moving to Madison County. West of my normal stomping grounds, I work mostly along the north outerbelt... but the news that a huge dairy farm... it will be the largest dairy farm in the state is moving anywhere in Central Ohio caught my attention...

I wonder where they are moving from...

I called Madioson County as a great spot for cows relocatiing to Central Ohio in

Nov. 23, 2007 - Central Ohio - Midwest

More cows... sorry I like Cows.

These are not California Cows in this commercial... as you will see they are Midwestern cows....

I think those cows are from North or South Dakota (remember the movie Fargo?) or Minnesota. Ohio cows would talk different but how would they talk?

I've shared this amazing quiz before. What American Accent Do YOU have?

Frank Smith writes of Ohio accents on BlackTable.com

"Not everyone in Ohio speaks with the midwestern nasal twang. Some do. In the Northern part of the state this is certainly the case. But if you move towards the hillier portion of the state, you hear a lot more about warshing dishes and hunnerd dollar bills, but somewhere in the middle everything levels out into a crisp non-accented cadence that is as clear as the words on this screen. In fact, the Ohio accent is the basis of the accent taught to newscasters. Newscasters on the televisual machine, meaning: the Ohio accent is so bland that you wouldn't even know it if you heard it because there's nothing to hear except the words, man. The words."

I think I talk like an Ohioan usually... the quiz "heard" the Wisconsin in my voice. " You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

I did not fool the test. Can you?

Nov. 1, 2007 - A Central Ohio Accent

Voices in Columbus have various accents. Many of us are originally from someplace else. I always think I sound just like everyone else in Central Ohio until I realize there are lots of different accents in Central Ohio.

Ohio has lots of people who have a much more Southern speach pattern to my ears than what I am used to from growing up in the Upper Great Lakes. I grew up in Wisconsin.

The Midwestern cow in this video is certainly from Minnesota or North or South Dakota... not from Ohio or even Wisconsin... well maybe Western Wisconsin.

A test... test your voice and you don't even need to talk.
