Hey, everyone needs affection sometimes

Hey man, everyone is entitled to their opinion. (No matter how ill-conceived.) ;)

I'm kind of the same. Over the decades, working in corp environment, I think my accent has neutralized. But I'd say I still have one, just not heavy.

I've never had an accent. Other people, however... Dey tawk weird.

Man, when I go visit my old stomping grounds in low-land GA, it's crazy (to think that that was my accent once), but actually quite beautiful speech. They say I talk like a yankee now. When I get home, my wife is amazed that I so easily fall back into the accent for a while.

When we were dating, my (now) wife and I had trouble understanding each other. I talked about a friend named 'Ben', and she'd never heard the name. Thought it was odd as h***, which I thought was odd as h***. Until she figured out that I was pronouncing "Behn" as "Been/Bin". Dang she was weird...
