[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 3040565, member: 24754"]You nailed it! I grew up in Evansville, IN, which is directly across the Ohio from Dixie Land. So, my accent may not be as pure due to moderate exposure. But it was always amazing that driving a few miles across a bridge would put you in a place where people spoke so drastically differently (not for the better! ;)). When people point out my "accent", I'm always quick to remind them that Indiana speak is typically considered to be the most neutral American English. That's why so many talking heads on major network shows are from Indiana. Like Doug said, we do not have an accent, everyone else does!

I used to have fun at social functions going on about how Bobby Knight was a tyrannical, blabbermouth, child in a man's body (I now get to use all of the polished ammunition on our current President! :vamp:).
