Dinah, when I was about 21 my dad sent me to North Carolina to teach some taxidermy courses at a technical college. The first morning
they were about 12 people in the class. The next morning it was standing room only. I couldn't figure out why there was so many more people signed up than the day before. Finally after an hour of answering endless questions, I figured it out. They were wanting to hear me speak. They found my accent and dialect rather amusing. Until then I had never been out of South Louisiana. I didn't think I had an accent lol.
I am the same age and went to the same school as Troy Landry on Swamp People. He said he didn't think he had much of
an accent either.
