Quite a few flaws as well as the usual stereotypes that are very specifically "south side only" pronunciations:
"Air = pronunciation of the letter after Q." (I don't get this one at all)
"DA- "anything"" - I heard this in Boston more than the north side of Chi-Town.
"Slingin' Sammy" - Never! It's "Slammin Sammy"
I've never heard Claude and Maude pronounced with the "O" sound in GOT - anywhere!
Never the YIKE - it's called the "IKE"
Paulina St is Pull-eye-na
Cheek-ah-ga, sassages, bab, da Hocks, how air ya - None of these are accurate or even a slight stretch. (Are you with me BeingCJ?)
Ditka is pronounced DIKA (I'm suprised they missed that one)
Chicagoland is only used by advertizers and the suburban people when asked "where do you live" and they know nobody knows where's Elmwood Park.
"Stereotypes are made for a reason" I say often to get a response from people, but in this case "I got nothin'".
