So essentially under the dialect section, one can conclude that the western side of the state speaks more similarly with southern speech patterns and St. Louis talks like a bunch of damn Yankees....just as I thought
FWIW, I'm a geography/map nerd, and I've always been fascinated how different Missourians talk. I can pick out someone from St. Louis just by talking to them for 30 seconds. Southern Missouri is also identifiable, although Springfield speech patterns are pretty identical to Kansas City.

In St. Louis, it's the over pronounciation of "R"s, or adding "R"s.

Only on this board is this a positive unless you're looking to be cast as an evil prick in some movie about civil rights.
