One of the replys to the "Southern Staets" posts below got me thinking. My brother has 6 kids, 3 born in FL and 3 in TX. The ones who lived in Florida never seemed to have a Southern accent at all, but after they moved to TX fora few years all 3 of them and the 3 new ones all had a drawl. Now I have relatives in NC who have a drawl as well and know others from states between NC & TX who do as well. Is it just me, or does FL somehow not produce a drawl with their regional dialect? When I moved "South" from MN/ND to IA 15 years ago to go to vet school it took about 5 years before people stopped telling me I talked like a "Minnesotan". By the way, the IA climate was so much better than "up north" that I stayed put after finishing school! Nice to live in the South - relatively speaking.
