Lived here my whole life, but have been told I have an accent. It must be from traveling in the south, and Appalachian/hillbilly family. Modern transportation and communication are causing us to lose our local flavor, it is a shame. It seems wherever I go, the biggest influence on accent is urban vs rural. In the cities the accent is less pronounced, the more rural, the heavier. Unless,of course, your looking for Ebonics or Spanish.
