BRACK: Is the Southern accent fading or here to stay?
By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | My Southern daughters have been making fun of my Southern accent.
They giggle when they hear me say words like yellow, mosquito, potato, pillow or can’t.
Of course, the right way to pronounce these words, despite what these ungrateful children say, is YELL-ah, muh-SKEE-tah, pu-TAY-tuh, PILL-ah and KAINT.
They go into a full-blown tizzy, though, with one word – water, which is correctly pronounced “WART-err.”
