  • Goddam, lay off, folks, this is for actors. Actors doing an accent often do the stereotype of the accent. I've lived in Minnesota my whole life, and I don't talk like the guys in Fargo. Most people don't. Onstage, you're doing a caricature of it.

  • That's not what is happening - they are saying "beddah" - so they are not pronouncing the "r" at the end and the schwa sound becomes an "ah" - who is this chick and what makes her think she knows what she is talking about?
