Do I have a Southern accent? (transplants, law, famous people)

You sound Southern to me. Not a thick accent, but still noticeable.

What the?

Hispanic is a ethnic group, not an accent.

I never said Hispanic was an accent, but, most Hispanics annunciate in a way similar to the OP.

When I started to listen to it, I thought you sounded like you were from some where like New York, then sure enough, you said you were originally from New York.

since you said sher you probably say fer (for) as well.

with that said, you don't have a southern accent.

The proper pronounciation of "Sure" is "sher" not "Shore", as many people incorrectly pronounce it.

The proper pronounciation of for is "fore", not "fer". Most southerners say "fore", not "fer", and half of southerners say "sher", while the other half say "shore".

Seriously, you've got to be kidding.

This guy sounds nothing like a southerner, and I live here in the South, so I should know.

Not Southern at all, but with a trace of Looong Island...

Don't talk anymore.

No you don't sound southern; definitely sound like a New Yorker.

LOLs.
