I just got back from a trip to Chicago today for a medical appointment. It's so bizarre how I can talk to people from Chicago and they understand me, and my communication to people downstate is broken. I've lived downstate for eight years, but there's no intuitiveness to people's communication here. I don't know how to explain it, other than citing instances of selfish and antisocial behavior downstate that tends to emulate the expected way of acting.
When I was talking to people up in Chicago today it felt like I was an immigrant that met someone who spoke their native language. Crazy.
