People in Southern ohio talk like hicks. People in Northern Ohio have no accent. People her in Delaware have no accent either. It's weird. I use to have a southern accent and it's pretty much gone now.
in central MN we dont have accents Either, I asked this because I met a few peeps from ohio and they had hick accents. they kept on sayin yall, its wierd but I bet 80% of people in the US have a southern accent
don't confuse hillbilly accent and lexicon with "southern accent".. cuz i say "reckon," and "fixing ta," and "fittin ta," and "y'all".. but i think that's b/c i've lived in s.c. and florida and with my cousin who was from mississippi and what not.. but when comes to actual accent.. i have none
