Hey - after all, even King James English can sound like the U.S. South -
Romans 1:8
"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all..." 8^)
Another oddity: On the "100 Greatest Country Music Songs" on CMT, it
was remarked that only Loretta Lynn could rhyme "hard" and "tired" in a
hit song and make it sound natural (song "Coalminer's Daughter").

science of this sort of geekery.

By and large, it is only the extremely humble, the insouciant and the
pretentious who name their own accents. Most regular folks don't.

Yes. They list "jeep" in there (note the lower case "j" and all the
implications that go with it).

I hope you're not implying that everyone in the south prounces it that
way - I certainly don't (born and raised in VA) - it's more NC, GA, W
VA, TN, KY hill or trailer park accent.

Ones that are in the dictionary. Ones that are not created by a manufacturer
as a brand name and legally used only as a trademark.
When "jeep" makes it into the dictionary as a verb, let us know.

Mine says a noun only.
And it is a registeted trademark, so you've got to be careful how you use it.
Like not calling every soda a "Coke" or every copier a "Xerox."
