We were in Nashville a while ago and I had a lot of trouble understanding some of the people. It was funny when, after hearing us N. Ohioans talk, they said, “You’re not from around here.” I restrained myself from saying, “No shit? How could you tell?”
But the people were very nice and cheerful, unlike some of my neighbors.

I got the same thing when I moved to Colorado. The checkout girl at the supermarket could not understand me at all then the bagger thought it would be amusing to make fun of my accent. He was downright insulting and doesn’t know how close he came to being outside my ‘comfort zone’.
