Well I’ve been told I’m now a damn Yankee!!
Once you live in NC for 5+ years you graduate to damn Yankee!! 
If I talk with family up north I’m told I have an accent,
but to me I still have my northern accent, 
with a slang now added to it!
More like a northernsouthern!

The deep Appalachian Region has the dialect of the Shakespearean era. Welcome to my world.
The word for pants, is pronounced paints. I suppose most of us don't realize the grammar is poor. We're about as southern as possible.....but I love it.

I am told I have an accent that is difficult to place. People don't know where I am from. I think that is because I listen so closely to those I am speaking with that I pick up their accent to understand them better... and soon I am speaking it along with the accents of others I know well.
I have an odd voice.

Just relocated back north to R.I. after 19 plus years in Fl. Came back often enough to never really lose this gutteral yankee, but find I've incorporated sayings unique to the South. Certainly miss Southern as spoke by a woman, has a unique lilt, and a single word or phrase can speak volumns....no other accent will come near making a man feel special

Ooooh, yeah! There is something veeeeerrrrrry romantic about a gentleman's southern accent!
I have a new sister-in-law from Mississippi.... real deep southern accent. Only met her once, but I get a kick out of her calling me "Ma'am"!!

Well I do have a southern accent,being a ky gal and raised in Ky and Ohio. I love to hear a southern man talk,I get weak in the knee's and when he calls me darling , I would fallow him any where.I use to call my first love all the time ,just to hear him call me darling and Baby.He had a deep voice also. wow should of could of would of,but didn't. Wish I could call him now.I do miss hearing those charming words. Only a southern draw can make them sound special. I don't think I was ever called darling or baby my a northern.

yes, I've been told I have a long drawn out lazy southern accent,..I've lived in other parts of the country-it seems to follow me wherever I go..and while MOST people I've encountered from other parts of the country think it's charming..others have the tendency to try to correct me in speech patterns..ain't gonna change lol

I have a combination-accent.... I grew up in Maryland (where, of course, I thought that it was people from other parts of the country had the accents when I heard a visitor speak), but while in the Navy I lived in South Carolina (Charleston) for many years, then in Virginia for many years, then in Florida, then in Washington State...and picked up different "dialects" and ways of saying things from all these places... Nowadays when I'm visiting any different area I kinda fall back into talking the way the locals do wherever I am....so I just git-er-done ya'll.. (Oh, and the plural of ya'll is You All - depending on where you're living  lol..)
