It bothers me a lot actually. It doesn't help our case that every time someone from the south is interviewed it's a poor or redneck uneducated inarticulate gal or dude that sounds exactly how everyone expects us to.

I was born in TX, but have lived in MS, AR, TN and FL as well, and in my experience, just like with British accents, there are variations, some which sound retarded as shite, and some that are very pleasant.
