To: Kathy in Alaska

55% American English

40% Dixie

5% Yankee.

I was born and reared in the Florida panhandle as had most of my ancestors going back to the 1700s.

I remember something odd. When I lived in Western Kansas, people were constantly asking if I was from Texas.

Good evening, yarddog...40% Dixie. Thanks for playing.

Maybe you sound a little like Texas, or maybe it is just the “south” thing.

I agree with Kathy, probably a "south" thing. Some of us have a hard time with accents.
People think Marylanders have an accent ;)
