| petuniabelle650 ::: Favorites 2007-07-23 13:14:54 Here in the US, people think Southerners are dumb and on TV a lot of times a Southern character is played as a rednecked idiot. There's a TV show now that I hope you will get over there called "The Closer" where the lead character is a Southern woman and she's brilliant. I can't even say how this thrilled me to see them show a Southerner as the smartest one in the room! __________________________________________________ | |

You could be the best attorney in the world but if you walked into a courtroom in the Midwest, west, or northeast and spoke like Jed Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies you would have zero credibility. Likewise if you were applying for a job in any sort of professional field having a heavy regional accent would make it much less likely you would be hired. __________________________________________________ | |
| mgpapas ::: Favorites 2006-10-08 18:00:12 In the US no matter where you go or how heavy the accent is among the regions population the local news broadcasters speak in what would be considered Midwest or non-accented American English. It's because they all aspire to work for networks where that is a requirement and also due to the fact that accents are considered to be being indicative of a lack of intelligence or education. No network will pick up a local story for national broadcast when the reporter starts with "howdy y'all". __________________________________________________ | |
