Do you have an accent?

Recommended Posts

Lived in the Deep South my entire life and am told I have a New York accent.

 

That may be common. Vinnie Tortorich is one of you people and reports that he gets told the same thing. :thumbsup:

6th generation Floridian, but no accent. However still have a Southern dialect. Say southern things like "howdy", "britches", "down yonder" and lots of "ain't"..., but no accent. Sound an ordinary American schmuck.

My wife grew up in Texas, and somehow got me to start saying yall. Unfortunately, she picked up the California like.

Whenever I tell people I am from Tennessee they often say, really? You dont have any accent.

 

Sux said that when we talked on the phone I think.

ain't is the most uneducated sounding word in the English language imo

When I was a kid, we had two phone lines in our house. One was mom and dads. The other was the fax number for dads real estate business. We kids used that one as our line.

 

We used to get calls daily like this one.

 

I need the fax on 1233 smith street.

 

What?

 

The fax. You know, how many bedrooms, bathrooms.

 

Um. Fax stands for facsimile, not facts. Call the office number during business hours.

No.

You can't tell I'm from NJ, so I've been told.
