Re: Montana accent/Lyndi/Lee

[Guest guest]

I am not a native Montanan. I am a Tennessee gal (well technically born in

Kansas and raised in Ohio until 1994 but a Tennessee gal nevertheless) but I

don't have much of a southern drawl unless I am very tired, very angry or

talking to one of my friends from " down home. "

I can't quite give up all my funny southern words consequently, dh has

picked them up.

haha

I never notice my husband's drawl anymore unless we are talking on the

phone. Then it really jumps out at me.

For some reason, I haven't picked up any of the local stuff, nor have I

picked up hubby's more southern accent. Every time I go home, someone

invariably says with obvious relief, " Oh thank goodness, you still

sound like yourself!!! " <g>

I'm also a Tennessee gal, born and raised in Nashville, lived on the

Cumberland Plateau about 14 years, now I'm in Northern Alabama and

love it here!

I tell my friends from around the country and world that THEY have

the accent, not me. LOL

My fiance' is a Alabama fan all the way, has the memorabilia around

to prove it. LOL I think he needs a bit of orange with it all to make

it look better, he disagrees. LOL For Xmas I got him a Tennessee

glass LOL I drink out of it of course. Oh well, I'll still wear my

Tennessee shirts and risk it when out of the house...live dangerously

I say.

What part of Tennessee are you from, you mentioned the Smokey Mt. are

you from around there?
