I have to assume most people try to lose their southern accent when they get out into the wider world. They are not as common as they ought to be. Which is to say, they're nearly non-existent, in my experience.

In 1996 my father refused to believe Clinton won because literally everybody he knew voted for Dole.

I'm sure I could be overgeneralizing based on my personal experience. Maybe a more interesting response from you, would be whether you agree or disagree with my guess that most people try to lose their southern accent when they get out into the wider world.

Yeah, and I particularly like North Carolina, Georgia and Texas. But they're all lovely and alluring.

South Carolina. It's slower than North Carolina.
