Part of being a Southerner is spending a lot of your time dismayed at what non-Southerners think a Southern accent is. I spent so much of my life baffled at the critical praise Kevin Spacey got for doing the hammiest Foghorn Leghorn shit in every single role set in the South. It was always really bad, a like community theater bad, especially by the time of House of Cards which was goddawful.

People moving into the South change the famous US dialect

Southern accents are disappearing in some parts of the U.S. South due to the migration of people into the region from other parts of the United States and around the world. A series of research papers released late last year chronicles the diminishment of the Southern accent among Black residents of the Atlanta area, white working-class people in the New Orleans area and people who grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina. More than 5.8 million people have moved to the South in the 2020s. That's four times the combined amount of the three other regions. But one study author notes the Southern accent is unlikely to disappear completely.

What is the longest one syllable English word? The best I could come up with is "thought". Or depending on your accent, "thorough" #englishlanguage #southernaccent #midwest
A video (3m43s) of me reading at the main yearly writer event here. I do have a Southern Accent but it is tricky for many define. Mostly I grew up in a remote north Florida swamp and then read a lot of books. #video #writing #reading #SpokenWord #florida #jacksonville #JaxByJax #SouthernAccent #SouthernGothic #FlashMemoir
