Southern accents are a million times less annoying that that northern shit. Once you hit PA it allll goes downhill.

And thank you Tuggan for sending all your drug dealers and killers down here to our state to fuck it up even worse. All the drugs come in from up there, it was even in the paper a while back hah. The shithole known as Detroit is so fucking poor they cant hold their own criminals, and for some reason they all want to come down to the central and western WV area with their drug and arms rings and set up shop when these hard criminals get released. Theyre fucking flowing in like a river. A river of crack!

Dont know what that has to do with accents, but it came to mind when I remembered you are from the Detroit area

but see, the difference is you can actually understand what someone from the north is saying even if you're some dumbfuck redneck that's living in a dirt shack and eating squirrel. i've spent alot of time south of the mason dixon line, it's a disgrace what those people have done to the english language.

also, you're quite welcome. I'll be sure to send out the memo commending all my drug and gun lords for doing such a fantastic job.

Are you serious? What the SOUTH has done? Listen to someone saying something like "Ill buy a water for a quarter" in Boston ot NYC and tell me you can understand well waht the fuck they are saying rofl. They sound 10 times more retarded than southern people. The one time I went to NYC it was like being in a foreign country sometimes tryin to talk to people

Boston folk have mangled the English language far worse than southerners have.

I would say boston/NE folks have massacred english as much as the south

southerners add extra syllables to words somehow

They're pretty fucking bad. I have almost no accent and I am damned proud of that. I think accents, however unfounded, make people appear to be unintelligent.

Except when I hear a HOT girl talking with a southern drawl, it does make my loins tingle a little bit. :)

so how do you feel about european accents? because, you know, our language kind of came from there - so technically, your american accent makes you sound unintelligent by your logic.

I like German accents... not particularly the German language, but the accent is sexy.

I like most European accents, honestly. They sound a lot cooler than anything this shithole produces from ONE language.

The accents from European countries are obviously as the result of speaking English as a second language and not your primary language simply sounding like shit as is with a southern accent here.

er, what? do you think everyone in europe speaks another language..?

the people who brought english to the states were from european countries. if you think citizens of england, for example, have an accent because they speak another language... well, I'm not quite sure what to tell you.

Uhh I hate to break this to you, but everyone has some kind of accent influence in some way. If anyone tries to say someone doesnt have SOME kind of accent, youre full of shit, imho. So that means every single person has a choice when they are 3 years old as to where to live and who to be around when they are learning to talk?

I dont actually think it makes anyone sound less 'intelligent' really, I just think some accents themselves sound stupid, just like im sure 99% of you would think mine sounds stupid.

In other words, Harrison, I wouldnt not hire you because I thought your accent was unintelligent, I would not hire you because your only qualifications are a GED and a forklift license~

actually the midwest has the least "accent" of any region

many customer service call centers are located in the midwest because anyone can understand us

Everyone thinks they're accent is neutral. People in Ottawa (aside form the french) have no accent. Well much less so then those hillbillies in the prairies.

Im just saying everyone's is influenced by the area their in. Some places may have less of an accent to them, some places have much more of an accent to them obviously, and the people in those areas cant really do much to change that because thats how their grown up learning to talk in school, and everyone around them. So sayin someone is less intelligent than someone else just becaue of their accent kinda doesnt make any sense. Its kinda hard to avoid getting an accent from an area when you have no choice but to grow up there :dunno:
