It sounds like a ridiculous affectation, totally seperate from a southern accent, which I often like.
I’m really rush homed in on it.
Not endearing at all —just foolish.
I didn't mean to imply that it was Southern, it isn't.
I did read an article lately that claimed the Southern accent spoken in the South today is more akin to the English spoken in England during the 17th century than the English spoken in England today.
Anyway, is Richard Burton doing vocal fry?
