    My nephew married a beautiful SC girl with a heavy Deliverance accent. Couldn't understand a frickin word the bitch said. She left him for a drug dealer and is in-and-out of jail a lot.

    On the other hand, Texas girls' accents make me melt. Andy McDowell before her diction lessons? mmmmm.

    If you speak the language properly the accent should be minimul.

    So many with strong accents aren't speaking properly. D'UH!!

    LOL, to me it's the exact opposite. The women sound sexy as hell. The guys sound slow.

    Oh and british girl's accents are yummy as well!

    In fact, it's one of my favorite accents, if not my overall fav.

    What are your thoughts to "Ebonics" or inner city vernacular?

    I did. Is it supposed to play recordings of people speaking? I can't find anywhere to activate them. Might be a Netscape glitch.

    That's because women have traditionally been told to never appear too smart for fear she'll scare off potential suitors. For some reason, Southern women have clung to this old wives' tale longer.

    He can't.
    When he pulls a DD&B, that's how you know you've defeated him.
    :yes:
