Good Morning ladies.
Talk about accents... I have a hillbilly accent too.
My sister moved to Detroit many many years ago..( I still lived at home)
Anyway... we would tape letters to each other on an old fashion tape recorder.
My sister would play mine to her friends and they would all sit and laugh at how funny I sounded.
It really hurt my feelings as a child .. but now I laugh at myself too. LOL
I never thought I sounded all that hillbilly... because I say "you all" instead of "ya'll" "... but others
hear ya'll.
I correct myself all the time back to "all of you". LOL I love "hearing" those accents from all over even in here.
Kat I understand completely what you meant. Tom Hanks is playing a role that emphasises a total character not just an accent.
Okay... my daughter just got up so I better go visit with her before I have to head back to my home and the "real world". LOL She has to be back to work by noon. My little mini vacation is over.
What I meant was it sounded completely false on Tom Hanks. I think that, combined with the character's over the top persona, just make him seem so unbelievable.
