> ****NOPE - No "g". Just 'askeen' you to be my friend, because I'm 'wanteen' someone to go 'skateen' with!!
I guess I say it more like askin, wantin, or skatin.
> I love having ooops - haveen fun talking like what I think a "sutherner" would talk like!
People always sound so funny trying to do a southern accent. Its usually WAY over done.
> Now, mind you, I guess a Texan accent is different from other southern accents? or is it?****Actually there are different accents within TX! East and West TX have way more of a twang and sound very similar to me (but probably not to them!). Then Houston strangely seems to have less of a twang than everywhere else. Maybe because its so big. Dallas is somewhere between all of them. Then other states, like NC, has a completely different accent altogether! Not to mention, Georgia, Kentucky, and so on.
> > When I took a voice and diction class in college I found out southerners are worst about the long 'I'.
> ****how do you say "i"? would 'bite' sound like 'bahht'??*******I think that's probably about right. Of course to me it sounds like I'm saying it normal - unless I hear a recording of myself!
> Oh, another thing I learned in voice and diction class, its pro-nun-ciation rather than pro-nounce- ciation.
> *********NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're kidding me, right???******No, that's what my professor taught me. Pro-NUN-ciation.

Back at ya!
