The Autauga County, GA sheriff was interviewed on MSNBC this morning regarding the tornado that went through there last night. I swear I couldn't understand a word he said. I'm not convinced that Alex Witt, the anchor of this show, understood him either. Her responses to him were pretty vague.

But then, I couldn't understand anything my son was saying last night when the family went out to dinner, so maybe I just need some hearing aids.

It's definitely a regional thing. All my relatives are from Arkansas. When I went to visit when I was a teenager, they would make fun of my "California accent" and try to mimick me, "Hiiiii, you giiiiiys!" I was actually shocked to hear their southern accents when we first met. They looked like such "normal" people, but they sure didn't talk like me! And then after hanging around them for a few days, I felt like I was talking funny and wanted to sound more like them. Accents are contagious!

I lived in Ireland for a couple of years when I was a kid. While there were several other nationalities in my class, I was the only American. On the first day I attended school, the biggest boy in the class said to me: "You ain't proper." He thought all Americans used the word ain't. I felt really bad. He was picking on me just because I was different and sounded different.

...have mercy, sad i do not read this thread much any more for the same reason, every year these differences appear with the same intensity, think about India how many dialects there are..I wonder if they compare each other the way Americans do their own, some one even mentioned hating Canadian accents as well as her/his fellow American accents. I don't get it... who do you talk to.

huh trini?
not sure about india, but there are definitely attitudes/stereotypes about accents in other countries. We have a rather large English here and to hear them talk about a 'devonshire' accent versus a 'london' is hilarious. Let's not forget the premise of My Fair Lady.
i think the original comment most of use were responding to was the cowboys' accent sounded fake or exaggerated. which would be pretty remarkable imho for them to be able to maintain a fake accent even admist a challenge.

....maybe we should drop the discussion (at least here) about accents, dialects, etc. and get back to discussing the show and its contestants.

We can all agree to disagree about language.....just sayin'.

Now, whether we think the cowboys are fake or not, I would like to give my opinion that they are very genuine and really likable contestants.

ITA!! All we have seen of their actions - and those of the GT's as well - proclaim them to be gentlemen.

Wikipedia gives a ton of answers to that question - I would probably go with "request for feedback" on an online board.

I listen to the RFF podcast all the time (OMG, talk about accents on the hosts, the one who lives in NYC sounds like he's stoned & has nasal congestion half the time - LOL!). They used to get official exit interviews with AR, Surv, BB (now I think it's only AR).

Texannie, my mom and dad are from Jefferson, Texas and their accents tend to be more "deep South" than those of Dallas where I grew up...more akin to George and Mississippi than further west. So even in Texas we have multiple accents...and that's among the English speaking population!
