Did I ever tell you about my Mamaw and Papaw's farm? You drive down into the holler and over the crick...the road's about all warshed out, buchoo just stick yer truck down inta fore-weel drive and it'll run right on up thar!

Sorry, couldn't resist. But I do have a bad habit of talking like that when I'm feeling lazy. It's a Kentucky Hills/Appalachia accent I fall into, not the true southern drawl, but it's not that bad, just makes me sound like I was really lucky to graduate high-school, when I was in fact a National Merit Scholar in a national Forensics league (lots of public speaking).

[Rant] In that vein Mithalwen, I assign poor grammar in the newspaper. I have far too many weaknesses of my own to assign pronunciation, although I have an evil tendency to laugh uproariously when the Southern girls on the newscasts down here let their careful Midwestern non-accents slip, but I can't STAND it when the newspaper is grammatically incorrect. The things are written on computers anymore anyway! Use Word's grammar check if you managed to get a degree in English or journalism without knowing how to write in that language! [/Rant]
