BAWSTIN!
Kate Malcolm is from Boston, Massachusetts. 
One of the things I like most about her is her accent! I joke around with her about her accent and she picks on me about mine. Some of our lingo is different. So, I thought it would be fun to compare and contrast the differences in our regional dialects. 

Kate says it like: Pahk
I say it like: Park

Kate says it like: Consit
I say it like: Concert

Kate says it like: Ahm
I say it like: Arm

Kate says it like: Doe-uh
I say it like: Door

Kate says it like: Fatha & Dotta
I say it like: Father & Daughter

Kate says it like: Lahj Coffee
I say it like: Large Coffee

Kate says: You guys
I say: Y'all

Kate says: Tonic
I say: Coke

Kate says: aren't
I say: aint

A typical sentence to come from Kate would sound like: "Anytime people heah ahm from Bawstin, they go: Say pahk yaw cah in Hahvid Yahd. And ahm like, you cahn't pahk theyah. You'll get towed to Meffa."

I know this is a lot to take in at once but it's what makes Kate part of What's up with Guilford!
