I'm not trying to start anything, but I'm curious. If you know the correct pronunciation, why not just say "bag" instead of bayg?

I've heard people from Minnesota say bayg instead of bag. They don't necessarily have an accent per se but they pronounce things differently.

I LIVE in the Twin Cities and I don't say bayg, nor have I heard others say it that way. More QVC and HSN hosts are from this area than any other; primarily because we tend to have a no-accent, accent. LOL

However, I do suspect ShopHQ hosts are from Northern Minnesota where there is a distinct Fargo (the movie) accent. Smile

"It's a no-brainer"

"It's a mute point". No, it's not. It's a moot point.

And particularly personal to me: "I'm sorry, your retina isn't laying flat and will detach again. We'll need to do surgery".

"Bring it on!"

"You go girl"
