I have what is known as Missouri speaking syndrome. It's the involuntary mouth reflex action where I blurt out barely understandable phrases that perplexes people who aren't from Missouri, but my neighbors know exactly what I'm talking about.
Does Missouri really have a discernable accent? I believe I can prove it does with some science and viewpoints of those who don't live in Missouri, too.
I'm a little confused by something. How do you tell someone bad news if you can't tell them that you "have some bad news" for them? We apparently need to come up with a new way as the internet claims there's science that says this is a bad idea.
