In Reply to: Accent......what accent? posted by John_the_Scot on February 24, 2015 at 11:06:50:
I'm a Yankee who lives in the south. Actually, I'm a damn Yankee, 'cause I stayed (so say my southern brethren).
I moved south to chase work, and a woman I was dating at the time moved here a month or two ahead of me. She complained that she couldn't understand anybody, but I figured she was exaggerating, because she tended to complain about everything.
When I finally moved, I had to agree with her, some of the southern accents were difficult for me to understand. Now, after twenty years here, I hardly notice the accent, unless it's a very strong (or as they say here, "real country") accent. Now when I visit the Boston MA area, the "Put the cah in the yahd" speak sticks out to me like a sore thumb.
It certainly helps when you have a common interest (Whiskey, Moonshine, women and food, etc.) to focus on, as you said.
