What is your accent?

I am from Louisville,Ky. But born across the river in New Albany, Indiana. I guess my accent is sterile. But sometimes southern.

San Franciscan, California. I didn't even think I [b]had[/b] an accent---until I went to college in Georgia. 😅

@bijouxbroussard Hahahaha. How long did it take for you to be able to understand our kind?

@SwampFlower I wasn't a total stranger to southern accents---my [b]parents[/b] are originally from Louisiana, but Pop's was light and my mother took classes to get rid of hers and make sure [b]none[/b] of us had one. But Georgia's is a bit different. [b]Plus[/b] this was during the Carter administration, where the catchphrase was: "[b]We[/b] don't have accents anymore---[b]y'all[/b] do." 😃
