Accents and How We Speak

We know we all have accents, but does the way you talk fit in with the stereotypical dialect in your area? I know mine does. I’m southern through and through, and yes I’ve got the accent to prove it. Some of you have heard me on a few videos I’ve done, and I’m not denying that accent by any means. I’m proud of it because it makes me who I am.

Then again sometimes people are too quick to judge us just by our accent. There are those people out there who hear my accent and automatically assume I must be dumb as dirt just because I’ve got a thick southern accent. It just gives me an opportunity to prove them wrong.

Does your accent show through on your blog? Do you write the way you speak? Plenty of people could probably note that I’ve got a southern accent just because I do use certain words or lingo that are considered a “southern thing”, but I do try my best to stay away from saying things like “down yonder” all the time!

The quiz I just took the What American Accent Do You Have? quiz, and my southern accent shone through.
