I get soooo tired of people making fun of my accent (especially now that I live in Michigan where it is obvious that I’m not around here every time I open my mouth and words come out). Many up here find it cute, charming, or endearing but there have been a couple of comments here and there about the way my “i” sounds. I would really like to know what the problem is. Is it that they are so ignorant they think I possess no intelligence (although I graduated college in 3 years while playing two collegiate sports)? Who knows? But I wonder why it’s not PC to pick at races or religions but we are not off limits….something to think about. Keep up the good work and keep educating people on modern day Appalachia!
