Does language define your identity?

>>''you cross the border, you can actually feel the difference''

just across the river, Detroit accent/dialect is very weird. It's not GA (general american at all)<<

That is likely due to the presence of Northern Cities features in the dialect in the Detroit area and such features being limited to dialects in the Great Lakes region of the US and some other parts of the Upper Midwest such as areas of Minnesota.

Possible...

BUT
It is also possible that the nastalgia hasn't overcome the ppl north of the border, but it has with the ppl from Detroit.

What are you on about? Nastalgia? I'm one to talk, but stop spamming.

It's "nostalgia", and I don't think you know what it means, Giorgie, from the way you keep misusing it on every thread.

Here here! nOstalgia! Not only does he misuse it, but he spells it wrong at that!

Oui, <nostalgie> est un mot très beau dans toutes les langues.

Ge<νοστος> {retour} » + Gr <ἀλγος> {douleur}.

ERRATUM : Gr <νοστος> {retour} + Gr <ἀλγος> {douleur}.

I think he's writing it how it's pronounced in Detroit or something... with that Northern Cities Vowel Shift or whatever.
