Memoirs Of J

I’ve been noticing lately how many people say mElk when they’re talking about milk. A friend told me that it’s just the Michigan accent but I don’t believe this is true since most people actually pronounce the I, not an E. I just saw a Kroger commercial that said it this way! Makes me cringe… When people ask me if I want melk, I secretly want to take their ‘melk’ and throw it at them.
