Ha, it's even funnier you like our southern accents. I hate them.
I used to have a pretty strong one, but I hated how it sounded, so I somehow worked it out of my voice. Now ppl hear I'm a born/bred Southerner, they usually don't believe me. One person said I sounded like a South-Central Illinois-an. Ha! I consider it a compliment, cuz ya can't quite tell where I'm from,
The Gone....Wind accents are quite nice, but that's like a regal accent. I hear a lot of backwoods/redneck accents (even from educated ppl, LOL). I can't blame you on the dresses, they were gooojus. And the "Southern Hospitality" is very true. We have great manners and hospitality. And THE BEST Sweet tea.
