Its not a problem unless you are not from around here. :-)

Exactly. Besides it's not Sourthern Speech that's the problem. You might have to wait for it, but you can understand what we are saying. Unless it's a sayin' in which case we'd be glad to splain to you.

It's dem fast talkin yankees that you can't understand. And they're rude about it too.

My BIL is from Knoxville, TN and it don’t get more southern than him and he has a 4 yr engineering degree from UT. But Mr GG2 who is from CA originally met him he thought my BIL was a total bumpkin. He was shocked when I told him my BIL was an electrical engineer. :=)

“There’s a southern accent, where I come from
The young ‘uns call it country, the yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talking, but everything gets done
With a southern accent, where I come from”
