My accent on words derives from family members i talk with and college down south.....to this day i cannot kick Y'all or reckon so from my vocab!

And 33girl is right. This has nothing to do with your accent, but the words you use. For example, my accent is not as pronouced as it use to be. However, most of the time, I still use the same phrases as I did growing up. Such as: "I'm fixin' to go get a cherry coke-a-cola. Y'all want one?" As such, it is more my turn or phrase - and to a lesser degree, my *soft* Southern accecent (rural twang after a few bourbons) - that clues most people in that I am a Southerner.
