but i look at it much differently,.....being texan is part of what defines me, its who i am, my family was here before texas was texas, and in some way i think i get strength outa this dirt under my feet,.......you should take pride in being texan, we have a rich history, amazing natural resources, and just,....alot of cool ****,......

Dear Texas,

Your welcome.

Why is there no love for the North Eastern accents? No one saw Good Will Hunting?

Also, for our New Yorker pages back, you add an "ou" after the W in water Loser. And add W's into coffee, dog, and various other words that don't have them.

NY accents don't wow me, but I enjoy talking to people from there because its kind of...goombah-esque.

Or Gone baby gone perchance? Forgot to mention that, I think I might dislike the Bostonian accent even more than the southern one...the film was bad, but the accents made it far worse...:\

why would she joke. I'm from an old tabbacco/cotton growing southern family and Texas is definitely not considered part of the south. And I don't think Texas considers themselves part of the south as well (but I could be wrong there)

Does it matter if the rest of the world considers Texas to be the most prominent representation of the American south?

When I think of the American south, I think of Georgia.
I get the impression that Texans see themselves as separate from the rest of the states. Like they think they're big enough to be a country in their own right.
I've no idea where I got this impression from btw.
