    Folks not from the south treat it the same way a good hunk of Americans treat Europe, think it’s culturally homogeneous, can’t pronounce the name of most towns/cities properly, and believe that we get along and like one another.

    As though I’d ever say anything positive about South Carolina or Florida

      Now thats just damned well inaccurate, some of us dont think of the south at all except for when we see yous plates. Seriously the only part of the south I care to think about is Arkansas more specifically around little rock since ive got kin there.

          Nope Im from SoCal. My dialect and accent are absolutely fucked, got me Southern, northern Appalachia, brogue, and fucken 1800s great laker influences and thats not even accounting for the random hick/redneck influence from the last hundred years.

          Seriously the last of my actual blood relatives who lived in Arkansas was just after the civil war, problem is it got past from grandparent to grandchild. Meaning my southern part is at least 150 years out of date, makes me sound like a particularly rural Okie when it kicks in.

          Luckily I am largely incapable of transliterating said abomination accent unless im fucken real tired, which I was when I made my previous comment. Also if youre curious on if all of them can be active at once, yes. Its a facsimile of a language.
