I don't have a heavy "hick" accent.
I'm watching a documentary set in the south and these people sound awful.
Blast you Oklahoma!

I didn't think I had one, but a friend from Chicago always says I have a hick accent when I speak. It's only a few specific words, but other than that, I believe I speak better than most around me, in terms of grammar and whatnot.
Georgia ftw.

God, I remember seeing old videos of myself and absolutely LOATHING the way my country accent would shine through.lol I haven't thought about that in awhile. It affected me profoundly, though! I purposely kept(or tried to) an accent out of my speech. It slips out in certain words regardless of how I try. People sometimes ask me where I grew up only to find out that I am a southern boy that was ashamed of sounding like a dumb redneck.

I try to listen to the content of speech rather than the twang or accent of it...
And somehow I've been lucky... because southern Indiana is thick with rednecks and I've somehow managed to avoid developing a serious accent... I've had this confirmed by my buddies...
Though southern IN isn't exactly in the south... the level of hicktitude is ridiculous.
Never understood why people gave one another shit for accents. It's the content that matters, not the delivery.

You can tell if you have an accent by listing to people from say up north or west if they sound like they speak with an accent then you may, but remember EVERYONE has an accent, a lot of people think the east coast accent sounds trashy. I guess cowboys, and the kkk ruined the southern accent. But if it really bothers you, you can learn to loose it if you choose so.
