Having lived in Minnesota for the last 26 years, I am sad to say that I have lost my accent. :-(

I hope that doesn't disqualify me from the Southern threads!

Naw...you're not disqualifed, as long as your heart is still in dixie. ;^)

Sheltonmac, come back South, son! You'll pick up that accent again real quick : )

Because of my accent, I get asked if I am from GA all the time - but I'm 5th gen Florida Cracker. Although, it is an honor to be consider from the proud state of GA.

The article is sadly true, but I'm keeping with tradition. We eat "supper" at my house and directions include "over yonder." I'm over in Ft. Worth, TX this week and it was a pleasure to hear the Southron accents over here - lots of cattlemen and cowboys. Good folk!
