    I've seen the movie so I know that.  Actually, none of the movie was filmed in Fargo, but people will still tell me I sound either like a Fargo character or someone from Minnesota.

      Good to know. VERY good to know.

    I typically enunciate well and avoid mispronouncing words like "espresso" and "caramel". 

    I've been both complimented on my speaking voice and told that I speak "too fancy". No kidding!  

    Yes, I suppose it's pleasing enough to most people.

    Of course you do. 

    As much as mute women?

      Of course!  That basement of mine isn’t going to waste, you know.

    Oh you’re fancy too, that’s why you and Randy get on so well :) I didn’t know there was a way to mispronounce  "espresso" and "caramel" So I probably don’t say them right lol. I’m not fancy -_-

    I'm not too fancy, either, ha! :)

    But I'm thinking of maybe:

    "es - presso"  versus "ex - presso"

    and

    "care - eh -mehl"   versus  "car - muhl"


    I'm done thinking now, though. Ha! :)

    Okay I don’t know which one is correct for either so I’m done thinking too lol. I pronounce the first way for both.

    I have to go do some more work ( I've been doing different kinds of work all day), but I'll make sure I continue our trend of not thinking, ha.

    I'm not sure, either, about those two words but I think it may be the first words in both cases that are correct.
    If espresso is about coffee, I've probably not often said the word because I can't stand coffee. :)
    As far as caramel, I say the second way, which I really think is the wrong one. I'm not much of a fan of caramel, either, so - - oh, well.
    But with the joyous-to-me "chocolate milk" -- I pronounce that one correctly every time! Ha!

    I have a lisp and apparently, I'm the only one that can hear it. It doesn't make my voice or accent sound all that great.

    I’m not sure what California accent is, I can only think of Valley girl accent and I’m guessing that’s not what you mean:)

  • It's an accent.  Niceness is up for debate.
