| When I was in school (U of Missouri) a guy kept teasing me about my Ky accent. One day he was determined to set me straight on how to pronounce Arkansas...
HIM: How do you pronounce Arkansas?
ME: Arkansas
HIM: NO, it should be AR Kansas.
How do you pronounce A r
Me: R
Him: How do you pronounce K A N S A S?
Me: Kan saw
He had the strangest look of shock on his face and strangely left me and my accent alone after that... |

| My dad's from Tennessee, so he wrinched his worsh wraags and fell asleep on pillars. So now my kids say I sound like I'm from the south when I get frustrated with them and tell them the proper way to worsh the walls or wrinch out their worsh wraags. |

| I know what you mean.
I used to say flour instead of Flower so I had flour beds that bloomed. LOL
A friend gave me a cute dictionary on "How to Talk Southern" I told her that it was just a good resource book. LOL |
