Question Posted Saturday February 17 2007, 9:22 pm
So i've been acting a lot lately with a southern accent- just joking around with my best friend.
the truth is i DON'T have a southern accent but i've found myself subconsciously pronouncing some vowels liek i'm kind of southern. i need to stop because i dont want people to think i'm southern.

Like those below me said, just try talking as normal as you can and you'll get rid of the southern accent soon enough. [ partychick101's advice column | Ask partychick101 A Question ]

So just try to catch your self in tha process, or when typing to your friends type normal and read it out loud, maybe that might help...
But aint no one gone bust on you if you have a southern accent,
hope i helped

It's just like a foreign exchange student getting used to speaing English and loosing their accent. Though, we really should stop being mean lmao [ ShineyStarz's advice column | Ask ShineyStarz A Question ]

Just keep trying to talk as normal as you can, and very quickly you'll be able to speak with your regular accent. :) You might keep speaking like that since it happened to me heh but your regular accent will snap back soon, nothing to worry about.
