wait para.. I can hear you now, but you'r voice is breaking up :)
At some point on Saturday I got a feeling my friend Tom sounded little like Borat (I suppose I must've sounded similarly).
I've been wondering who Cohen had based Borat's English on. Given both "jak sie masz" and "dziekuje" are 100% Polish, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the right track to find the origins..

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

Midland accent.
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Apparently, I have a "Midland Accent".
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent."
Then why does everyone ask me to say "park the car in harvard yard?"
