I like the Southern U.S. accents too. Probably because I never get to hear them very much they always seem quite exotic. To be honest, I don't really know what a 'Redneck' is; just something I hear people say on the TV. Always thought it was just another name for a Hillbilly.

Anyway, look on the bright side. You want to try going through life with an accent that makes you count like this: "One Two Three Four Fuv Sux Sivin Eight Nun Tin, ay."

(Actually, I'm also struggling with the concept of 'land borders' and the fact that in some countries you just can't walk in any direction and get to the ocean before dying of thirst - scary)
