One of my close classmates from the U of MN Law School Natalie T.,-- they broke the entering classes of @ 250 students into 5 groups of 50 with whom we shared all the First Year Classes-- is now a Judge in Las Vegas, Nevada and she did often talk like that and probably still does. I was not that close with the 200 students from other groups of 50 unless they lived in my dorm or were in Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners.
Natalie T., was the roommate of my eventual live-in girlfriend Jennifer V. who spoke like me -- a person born near Milwaukee, WI. The Minnesotans and the cheeseheads from WI often had a rivalry. I had a hard time rooted for the Vikings when they played the Packers as well as with the Twins and the Brewers.
