I say Salmon like Kellie from American Idol
This is seriously something that baffles me and makes me laugh at the same time. I must admit that I pronounce the word salmon like Kellie Pickler from American Idol does. It’s just a part of my normal Southern accent.
Personally, I don’t think there is anything wrong with my accent and I don’t think it makes me sound dumb or uneducated. However, I’m sure many people would disagree with that based on first impressions and stereotypes.
Anyway, I love my accent and am very comfortable with it! What’s even more wonderful is that where I’m from all the guys sound like Matthew McConaughey. How cool is that?
All in all the part that baffles me is why do people automatically assume you are an idiot or less than them based on your Southern accent?
