I know right, I guess everyone in the South talks like Paula Deen & Mr. Brown too.

I asked to give us a different example. That's very naive if you think a city of 8 million speaks like 1 person.

And for the record, I can't stand the way she talks too. So that just proves how us NYers can't tolerate the way she talks; so that just goes to show we aren't whiny like her.

Hint: not everyone in the south has the same accent you describe. How very ignorant and naive of you

Just proves to the rest of us even more that you have never been there

Now you know you love it there. You were overwhelmed by it's greatness and beauty and that's what attracted you and if it was so bad you would have left already.

We all know that you haven't been there. Can you say "photoshop"?

But keep us all laughing with the silly generalizations and other untruths you spill on here. It is making our case even stronger

I watched the nanny last night, her voice is either rare or unique because i've never heard anybody from anywhere talk like that, I didn't even know where the show takes place.

She sounds a little like Lois Griffin to me.

Check your pm's, I'm sending you my pictures to prove it right now. And I bet you won't respond to that pm either. Dude, my parents live in Florida...nearly everyone on here knows that, but you're new and haven't seen my posts about it, and how I often go to see the Braves in Atlanta.
