Biography
It has the same back-vowel shifts as Inland North, but can retain some features of Appalachian ("warsh" comes up from time to time, ESPECIALLY in St. Louis). The biggest peculiarity of this accent (if not a universal one) is the "positive anymore"; essentially using the word "anymore" to mean something like "nowadays" or "from now on". Other traits include pluralizing determiners like "what" and "who" by using the word "all" as a suffix ("what all", "who all", etc.), shortening "needs to be" to "needs" (such as "The car needs washed"), and using "you guys" as a plural form of "you". Whether a given speaker refers to soft drinks as "pop" or "soda" depends on which part of the dialect's range they're from. Stereotype: Being rustic without quite being a full-blown hillbilly. Or just being a hillbilly, if you're feeling unkind. Alternatively, way too hardcore Big Ten football fans.
