For what it's worth, a lot of West Virginians make their way to DC (strip clubs are full of them) and I've spent a whole week in Harlan County.  I couldn't pick any difference between the two accents.

They are pretty much the same.  As a West Virginian I would say the Eastern KY accent is just more pronounced.

Huh. Lots of that in the Okie side of the family. But then the family is originally from the Appalachia part of Ohio and West Virginia. This is pretty much how my Grandfather said his father talked and he was born in Gallia County Ohio.

That part of Ohio is basically an extension of WV.  My brother is engaged to a girl in Gallipolis :mellow:

When I have the energy, I like to return to my birthplace with the accent of The Valley.

Joking aside, is their a male version of Valleyspeak?

I don't think so. Maybe its kin would be something like surfer speak?

That said, there are many gay wannabe valley girls.

I always picture BB posting while using his curling broom in a Mounties uniform.

:rolleyes:

I'm no mountie.  I'm a barrister.  I post while wearing my barrister's robes.

Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Isn't that what Ruth Bader Ginsberg wears?  :unsure:

Are you wearing a wig? Otherwise no deal.

My accent changes based on where I live.  Despite people's skepticism I swear it isn't intentional. :blush:

I had lunch in San Francisco with a high school friend back in March, and within like ten seconds of talking to me he was like "Wow, I can tell you live in the South now."

You probably didn't correct him either.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Dorsey, what did you think of Ide's accent?  ^_^

It isn't nearly as strong as you guys claim.

But, within the spectrum of southern accents, his is a low class hillbilly one. Sorry Ide.  :(

I am looking soooo forward to moving up to Pennsylvania. <_<

And I'm not a Stalinist, per se.

I dunno.  When I'm upset or excited, maybe.  I don't say "y'all" ever.

I don't sound like Gomer Pyle.

 Seems the witchhunt has gone so far as to call for exhuming Forrest's body. Such indecency!
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'
