 RC>> Then you have never really heard a Southern Drawl.. :)

 CS> True!  I seem to recall having to repeat somethin'er other at'ya due

RC> You have a nice voice Carol..

Grin, thanks!

Absolutely!  I absorb them too when I live in an area for a bit.  My
childhood ¨accent was from Miami with a definitive Cubano soft 'slur' but
the faster ¨speach of the north.  Several years in Virginia and later South
Carolina made ¨it overall 'suthern' if a bit faster than most.  Give me a
beer or so and watch ¨me march speachwards well south of the mason-dixon
line!

RC> Phil is right I probably picked up some sort of accent, just not conci
RC> of it, but believe you me, there are people who sound really suthern..

Sure!  An' they all talk funny!  (hehehe).
