You have an accent. It just isn't a stereotypical Southern accent. You have one, though, because everyone has an accent.

Most sountherners sound like southerners to me. I don't understand how you think they sound sophisticated :S Any one can sound sophisticated if they try right?

And I guess I really should have clarrfied what I meant by sphisticated. I just meant we aren't stupid just because we are from the south. Since thats the sterotype we are pretty much stuck with.

Oh i get it now. And I'm from Canada so i know how you feel. EVERYONE who is not canadian always asks me "Oh my gosh! Do you say 'eh all the time?" Its like no i don't thanks. And btw i never thought southern accents sounded stupid. They're unique in a good way :)

I live in Tennessee and I have a southern accent. No not everyone has an accent but I would bet its more common than not.

Gone with the Wind, anyone? Those accents are just entrancing.

Gone With the Wind is a myth as the accents are exaggerated also!

They don't sound stupid, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they're sophisticated either..
