Re: USAGE: Weird dialectal stuff

Well, this is a little off from the main subject here, but...

I was talking to a friend who is from the city of Fresno, which is not
more than maybe a few hours away, and within the same state. He said that
there is a dialect which he called "Fresno Dialect" (Surpise surprise :)
). Anyway, he said that e and I are pronounced the same, and thatis why he
has ahard time pronouncing certain words right in english.

He gave two  examples of the dialect, pen and pin (I can't describe the
sounds accurately , but suffice to say, both words are said kind of in
between the sounds of both words) both sound the same, and are said the
same. I didn't notice it at first, but when he gave those two examples, i
really noticed it .
