English, Do You Speak It?

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

But Khara, the south constantly sends the message that people from the south are dumb hicks...

fixed that for you.

not that I'm agreeing with halfbaked's dialectical prejudices, because I'm not. There are plenty of regional dialects of american english that don't make people sound like idiots. "Lowbrow southern" just doesn't happen to be one of them.

I know what you are talking about.   

And I will admit, it grates my nerves to hear some people talk, people that I grew up with, hell people in my family that have that completely annoying dialect.  I don't however think they are stupid because of the way they talk.  I tend to base my "you are a fucking idiot" decision on what people say, not how they say it.  Does that make any sense at all?

oh, absolutely, and I try to do the same...but my reaction to "low southern" isn't an intellectual reaction, it's a visceral one.

That plus do you hear the "Deliverance" music when they talk or is that just me?

no, it's more like listening to Charlie Brown's teacher talk only all I can hear is "SOOOOOOOOWEEEE!!!" over and over again with varying pitch and intonation.
