There are different accents just in Atlanta...when I moved here 25 years ago and I wasn't used to hearing Southern accents I noticed it a lot more. Now I have to stop and think about who has an accent and who doesn't because I'm used to hearing it. I barely notice all the different regional terms anymore, even though I don't use them (except I had to stop saying "pop" a long time ago!)

"Now I must fetch my pocketbook and carry Mother and Daddy to the Kroger because they are fixing to go to the beach and need to fill the buggy with Cokes for all the grandbabies"...said in my best NW ATL suburb accent.:D

Wrong. You're either born in the South, or you're a yankee. Thats basically how it goes.

^^^^ Very honestly I don't see much difference between the thesis you wrote and Mystic's synopsis. So I guess they are both garbage.

Oh, and make sure from here on out you spell everything correctly when you post.

But what if you're born in the South....but your parents are "yankees"? Then what are you?
