[quote=Anonymous]Lmao what in God's name. First of all, every single person who's actually from the South or has any Southern family will notice immediately that your kids aren't native speakers of the dialect and think "wtf". Second... WHY? A southern accent has many connotations and most of them aren't positive. I certainly slip back into mine whenever I talk to other native Southerners (which is mostly just my family, at this point) but under no circumstances would I ever make an effort to use it with anyone else. Btw I also feel this way about the popularity of "y'all" on Twitter and among the social-justice-conscious crowd generally. I understand that people use it in an attempt to be gender-neutral, but there are plenty of other options that aren't so cringey - "folks", "everyone", "all", etc. It is ALWAYS ALWAYS so obvious when the person using "y'all" isn't a native speaker, and it's just nails on a chalkboard to me. Cannot wait until this trend passes.[/quote]
