“Do you troll everything dumbass?”

Well good morning whack job! Sorry if simple history frightens you. Perhaps you can explain the southern accent then? Im eagerly waiting for you to tell me it came from William Wallace himself, and was adopted in the south during the American revolution as a way to insult the English. Lol,,

The Southern accent I knew as a small child no longer exists anywhere that I know of. It was restricted mostly to people sixty and over back then and it came mainly from old English influences, not from the black people. The black people I was around then may have used many of the same words but pronounced them differently and they had words that they used that were not used by white people and vice versa. I have to struggle to try to speak in that way now. Oddly enough, I grew up in South Carolina just South of the North Carolina line and midway on an East to West axis but I have been told many times that I sound like a Texan. I did some telephone work which involved calling a lot of people in the Eastern half of Texas and some of them would ask what part of TEXAS I am from, they assumed from my speech pattern that I was born and raised somewhere in Texas.

Do you have any idea how comical some Northern accents sound to Southerners?

So be honest what’s your real issue?

Too big a coward to admit

"Sorry if simple simpleton 'history' frightens you."

There. Fixed it so that it reflects the nonsense that you are selling.
