Georgia has WAAAAYYY too much variation within the state. Every county has its own accent. Some are fast and some are slow.

I'm surprised they don't have a special category just for Minnesoooooooooooota!

I have noticed the slower speech speed i nother states, and they're probably as annoyed by the speed of my speech as I am of theirs.
