Based on the image given, that I could not for some reason get to load on here, I live a little below the Northern region but go to school in the Northern region. My whole life I have grown up in the Midland region but I say words on what seems to me the Midland region. The article talked about words like cot and caught and how they are annunciated the same in the Midland region. I know that I say them the same and when we were writing them in class I kept going back over them to hear a difference, but all I could find was that I aspirated more on the second one than the first. There was an activity in the articles that wanted people from the Midland region to see if they could correctly identify a couple words from the Northern region. The first word was guess but I thought it was gas. I hear words strung out more than when I say it. Like I would say guess and it would be very short, but they drew it out making it sound like an a. The other word was fatch but I thought it was fetch. They also gave examples of bed and bad. From this I got how closely connected the e and a sounds are.
