Does the area you inhabit affect the way you communicate?

I think that the spokesperson for communication should be Communi-Cat. Also communities

I'd say I have a deep southern drawl (nothing compared too yours though heir Notsid)
my adoptive sister picked the southern drawl up when she used to live with us, Im pretty sure she has since I've heard her talk with one the last time she was visiting)

and it doesnt really sound like my friends have one though.
but people that I don't know have the thick southern accents

i don't think i have an accent. but i have heard people from arizona have nasally voices. idk if i do
I'm pretty sure my voice isn't that nasally either. Maybe them anti-Arizona naysayers are just jealous.

From what people have told me, while I do have some semblance of a "Minnesotan" accent, it's not very pronounced. I dunno.

But you know, nobody here really says "ya, you betcha" all the time anyway.

lol no minnesotans don't say "aboot"

and what do you mean by "beg?" you mean for "bag?" if so, yeah, some people do say that. "bookbeg" instead of "backpack," for example.
