"The Midwest" is a very big place and there are lots of accents to be found there.

I repeat, everyone has an accent. Some are more pronounced than others, some are more common than others, but everyone has an accent.

Please tell me that this is supposed to be a joke.

Of course, maybe you're not joking. After all, I have trouble taking someone seriously who posts in bright colors.
