When I moved to Montana as a young'un I soon realized I didn't always sound like the other kids. In particular the stereotypical Pacific Northwest really came out in the way I said words like "bag" and "wagon". ("bayg" and "waygon".) I actually got made fun of a bit for that one so I retrained myself to say those words "correctly". I suppose you can't beat your first dialect completely out of you, though, because I still use certain terms that are real Washingtonisms. Like "potato bug" for pill bug.

Apparently when I get loud I have a bit of a Montana drawl. (different from a Southern drawl tyvm ). I am occasionally picked on for that, too, despite, you know, living here. But it's all in good fun Also I've picked up Montana's habit of using the word "anymore" in situations that would make most English speakers squirm; i.e. "rent is so expensive anymore!"
