After I've talked to Katherine, I twang all afternoon. And I've never lived in Texas...I came up neutral too.Elizabeth Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944688652163930260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-56988173826491731312007-08-31T09:40:00.000-05:002007-08-31T09:40:00.000-05:00Well, I'm neutral -- and it's not because I have s...Well, I'm neutral -- and it's not because I have successfully disguised my Southern accent. Try as I might I just don't have that Southern accent. I have a competely-vanilla-Great Lakes/Ohio-River-Valley-nothing-fun-about-it accent.

Though after I moved to MA, my roommates said they could tell when I was on the phone with my folks in Texas because my accent got thicker. <BR/><BR/>I do notice that it gets thicker when I'm around other people with a Southern accent, even when I've watched television shows or read books with an accent. The thickest I think it ever got was when I went to a family reunion in Kentucky.

There is no mistaking it, but it isn't overwhelmingly noticeable. Fargo?
