| @Freshie - *gasp* You hurt me! D:
*is from South Louisiana*
And now I live in South Florida. xDD
I love the south. <333 ^^
@ecco - Hrm, you know there are several different southern american accents.
Like, from where I'm from there's cajun, but even cajun accents aren't all the same.
It sounds different if you're from Lockport,Raceland,Chackbay,Choctaw,Larose....
or if you're from the New Orleans area, or from around where I am... Houma,Bourg,Bayou Blue,Thibodaux (and a lot of people from around here don't even have much of an accent at all... just little differences in certain words, but not much, like me ^^)
And that's just south Louisiana accents, which are mostly referred to as Cajun
Then North Louisiana accents sound more like Mississippi accents.
And Mississippi accents sound different from Georgia.... and Texas accents sound different....
So there are many o__o
I'm guessing when you think of southern american accents, you either think of a kind of "hick" accent, which could be Tennessee or Texas mostly, or a more kind of "Southern Belle" accent, like what you might hear in an old Civil War Era film, with the sweet honey-like quality to the female (and male, too, actually) voices, which is closer to SOME Mississippi or Georgia accents. <<
And I'm not particularly fond of any southern accents. There are a couple though that can be annoying. .__.
And that video was funny.... he was horrible with some of that. xDDD
And his american accent voice sounded so nerdy. xD

| I totally was. OTL
Glad that's over. whew. oo;
And I've heard newscasters with thick accents before.
Keep in mind, some newscasters down here really don't have much of an accent... because there are a ton of people with little to no accent even in the south. -nodnod-

| They purposely get newscasters with no accents or teach them to cover theirs up...this according to a communications class I took.
I...don't have much of an accent...because I'm a Mid-westerner.....>.>;

| Accents are crazy though, we stopped at a little restaurant in Florida, way up, almost in Georgia, and everyone there had these really thick Cajun accents (I think it was Cajun) Anyway, I still have no idea what anyone was saying, but their chicken and dumplings were delicious. :3
Edit: Huh, apparently it's not really an accent, but people from Seattle (where I'm from) speak a bit differently than most northerners... I didn't really think so... but I suppose we do have some strange slang. XD

| Florida doesn't count!
Its more like, part of Cuba and other places, rather then the south. xD
I grew up in Florida. ^^;;
But lets see what people think. I hate my voice though. ;-;
I have a habit of mumbling because I fear no one actually wants to hear me. <<;;

| Hmm, although Cajun accents are mostly in Louisiana, I have heard a few here and there while I've been here in Florida.
Though it may not have been cajun that you heard.
Could've been close though. -nod-
And yeah, thick REALLY cajun accents... I can't even understand half the time, and I'm from cajun country. xD
And pizza's on the way, yayyy! *wiggles happily*
So hungry. n3n
