Ah, I see what you mean. I don't often travel around the US nor do I talk about southern accents to many other non-southern Americans (as I do not have a southern accent, I speak with a more accentless midwestern style), so I am unaware of such a perception. I find many southern accents to be rather endearing, but what is known here as a redneck accent is rather hard on my ears.

- codewright 14y agoYeah, what moultano said. Except for one derivation in the more rural parts, my state has the accent that most American newscasters will learn or imitate. So for better or worse, I have neutral American English. Pretty good being on top.
