For those of us who live near the U.S. border, we have often been accused of having a more American style accent.
A PHD student at Western University wants to know why.
Michael Iannozzi grew up in Sarnia and says when he was an undergrad at U of T, many of his friends thought he was American, so he decided to research the roots of his southwestern Ontario accent.
Iannonzi says growing up he listened to Detroit radio and doesn't think he sounds anything like that.
