74%, which makes me just as Southern as General Ronald E. Lee or Stonewall Johnson! Well, I've spent time there, anyhow. This Northwest boy probably owes a great deal to migrating post-bellum Southerners, and I will say that I cannot return to South Carolina because one of those ladies saying "Chaaaalston" turns me into a puddle of goo.

I have a good friend from Baaahston who married a lady from Alabama. The accent their children are likely to inherit may form a linguistic black hole and suck us all into it.

I once knew a girl from Chester, South Carolina. She was a real beauty but I just loved to hear her talk.

When I first asked her where she was from I literally could not understand her. It sort of sounded like she was saying Shaaastuh. I finally got her to spell it.

I was born and raised in the Florida Panhandle but when I lived in Western, Kansas, people were all the time asking me if I was from Texas. A different accent from South Carolina but both are still Southern.
