My husband is from Georgia and we can distinguish certain words that each of us say differently. As a Texan, I say "pah" for pie and "tile" for towel. He says boo-levard and uses different words than I do--like supermarket instead of grocery store. He also says he's going to carry someone somewhere instead of take them.

Since you're a Texan and probably one of the few GCers other than myself who remember "Dallas", what did you think of the accents of Larry Hagman, Victoria Principal, et al?
I've heard they were horrendous, but I dont' really know how they're SUPPOSED to sound!
