I'd like to ask, what is the linguistic difference between Upper Mid-Western & Mid-Western? And what do they sound like?

Actually, I use many of the available answers. I have lived in Michigan, California, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, Maryland, Lithuania, and now Pennsylvainia.

I would define my accent as a - General American English accent with a drawling nasal twang.
