People in Michigan talk weird.
I've noticed some of these things, and I do some of them. Some of them drive me nuts (its not Meijer's, its Meijer, goddammit!), but all of them are hilariously true.
I present to you the Michigan Accent Pronunciation Guide.
Some samples include:
Company names as possessives
"Melk"
"Parrty Storre"
Most of it explains specific pronunciations, and oh man are they accurate. It makes us appreciate how we talk, and how weird it really is, because we don't really have a strong accent in the way a lot of other parts of the country does (think Texas), but man, do we enunciate weird.

I'd argue only about half of those are accurate. Although a lot of them could be U.P.-specific.
This made me laugh out loud, though:
"Euchre": a card game which is popular in Michigan and seemingly, no where else.
So true.
