Why do people say I have an accent from a state I’ve never been to?

[Dargil]

I do too. I live in the South but my parents were from Boston. I inherited my Mark Wahlberg accent from them. I was raised in indiana.

Maybe you know somebody from there and it rubbed off in you

[kitty91996]

Um no

[exitseven]

Maybe you watch some TV show and thay talk like that?

Or maybe you are posessed.

[kitty91996]

Highly doubt it

You talk funny. Go with it. Accents are interesting.

I need details to answer this. Where did you grow up and what state are you misidentified as being from?

Some accents can sound quite alike.

[kitty91996]

So southwest Va and Alabama sound alike?

[astlavista]

they can sound similar because both are Southern U. S. accents

[kitty91996]

I don’t be understanding where people be getting at I say in response don’t you realize where you are at to be asking where I’m from?
