I think it's a bit exaggerated. However, I had a neighbor from Minnesota who had lived in Texas for over 20 years and she still sounded a lot like those characters.
Even assuming that scene was intended to be the catalyst for Marge suspecting Lundegaard, IMO it really wasn't all that important. It was boring, took up too much time, and wasn't necessary for Marge to come to suspect him (for example they could have easily escalated the absence of inventory question much quicker).
Besides, as someone else on here mentioned, were we supposed to believe Marge - a cop - took everything she was told at face value? Even in the quirky Coen world, that's a bit much to swallow.
And just because the Coens supposedly said the scene was intended to arouse Marge's suspicion, doesn't mean it was all that.
There were a few words used on that show that can't be spoken at ALL today.
I agree as to the reason, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. It's just caving to extortion.
