I was watching LGR's review of Midtown Madness: Chicago Edition, and hearing Marty Lennartz using a Chicago dialect, as well as Clint's at the end of the review, made me wonder if all Chicagoans sound like that. I've lived in the south suburbs (and same house) my whole life, and although the aunt on my dad's side sounds like a typical Chicagoan (because her and my dad used to live downtown), it doesn't seem like people from my neck of the woods sound like that. I've heard recordings of myself, and I don't seem to sound like that either (especially since I've been getting into the habit of talking with a Transatlantic Accent, because people have noticed I speak clearer and slower when using it, and because I'm trying to present myself as more classier and sophisticated). If you're from Chicago as well, I'd like to know which part, and if you or the people around you talk like the typical Chicagoan.
