FrozenBananas 05/08/24 7:03:03 PM #1:	Over the last couple years, Ive seen two completely different people try to force themselves to have a southern accent, because apparently the southern accent is the cool thing these days. They just start talking that way 24/7 in hopes that itll become second nature. What in the fuck? What a silly thing to do. And technically, its cheating!

I was born in the South and was actively taught to avoid the accent and slang that goes with it. It's the same with the stereotypical "Canadian" accent. Educated/intelligent Canadians virtually never have that accent, it's just the hicks.
