I have a southern accent! I do feel that it makes me a nicer person because of it. I do get called out on it a bit. Some people might think I am not as smart because of it. Also I talk slower, that also makes people feel like I am less intelligent than they are. People with southern accents are not automatically mean they better people but if you compare the accents with the personality and took a poll to find out how is nicer, the answer is clear. I have done quite a bit of traveling in my day and I have come to find out that no matter where you are at northern people are usually rude. It could be the way they talk or the tone of the voice that they use. But it me it just seems unfriendly to me. In Charlotte there are some many different accents and dialects. It is pretty amazing and a little hard to grasp the fact that we speck the same basic language when we speak so differently. With me am very soft spoken many southern speakin folks are. I seem to hold out my “I” sounds in my words. I would say the dialect that I have is a Carolina one. North Carolina and South Carolina have their own accent compared to the south and the rest of the Nation.
Were you live and what type of culture you live in plays a major role in the way speak. For example I basically grew up on the beach down here. I like a slow pace and a relaxed atmosphere. So I seem to talk slower. If you grew up in the North in a big city like NYC it is a lot more fasted paced and louder than sitting on the sandy shores of the Carolinas.
