My recruiter is trying to screw me

Snippylynn

Yes, yes I WAS born in Corbin! I'm so proud of you guys! lol Normally, I just get blank looks from that.

It's been years since I was there though.

Emily, perhaps.  That would take some serious work to convince H, though.  If I could ski this winter, it would be on the way to the mountains.  But, yeah.  That's not going to happen.

Wow, I didn't realize you were really from the area!

Snippylynn

Yep!!  I had the WORST accent when I was little. I remember getting teased about it.

I'm pretty pumped I'm from out of state so it's not so bad for me! Although you'll probably make fun of me when we Skype with our wine

I always imagine you with a "genteel" southern accent.  Mine was most definitely not.  Most.Definitely.

Yeah... pretty much. 

louisvillebride21

That's really unfortunate lol

Not very.  You sound more mid-west than southern, I think. 

louisvillebride21

Which is funny because I'm from the far West.

*ahem*  I sounded like these people.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDvkQmOdCfo&feature=related

I was watched by a hillbilly couple when I was growing up, so that's where I picked it up.

I ALREADY SAID I WAS A WEIRDO!!! DON'T JUDGE ME!!!

LVB, you don't sound too southern, especially considering what town you grew up in ;-)

I've dropped my southern accent some.  (As much as possible.)

When bartending and waiting tables, it was a plus.

Answering phones for a distributor of a globally known product?  Not so much...

I had a weird accent for awhile. I had my usual Southern Indiana, so close I could throw a rock at Kentucky accent mixed with a Chicago accent after I went to Purdue for 4 years. I still sometimes say my a's like I'm from Chicago and rarely pronounce the "g" for words that end in "ing" anymore.
