Fonz I may just say afew-I was born and raised in the midwest ya know

My writing is only the half of it. Even though I believe I have a flat dialect with no noticeable accent I do on rare occassion and a "r" to the middle of words. I'll give you an example. I wanted toask my wife if she had washed my clothes but it came out "Did you warsh my clothes". My wife went through the roof. I once again explained to her that I was raised in South St.Louis and thats a common butchering of the language there. I'm just about broke of that habit but it does slip out once in a while. Its so common in St.Louis than Pizza hut did a commercial with the two characters talking using such words as "fark" (for fork) and highway "farty far" (for 44). It caused such a backlash that Pizza hut had to withdraw the commercial. Now I live about 70miles south of St.louis and have a whole new set of problems. Downhere is a strange mix of midwestern and souther dialects. What new speech impediment can I pick up now?

Oh, Iapologize for being so far off topic but it wasn't exactly my fault
