    I say embrace it. I deliberately use the Americanism “season” now when talking about TV. Because “There were five series in that series.” just gets too confusing. Also we should probably adopt “y’all”. And the US should take “Autumn” in exchange.

        I don't think my Southern accent is that bad, but "y'all" always gives me away.

        My dad is a Down East North Carolinian, so he talks similarly to the people in this video. I picked up his accent and my mother's more traditional Southern American English.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgi9wYsR5fo …

        What a coincidence! I’m from extreme Southeastern Virginia and the older generations of my family speak with a Carolina Brogue accent.

        I love it! I can only do it with effort. I use some of the vocabulary words because I grew up hearing them, though. My dad frequently used "whopperjawed" when he was building things, and my paternal grandmother called her porch a "pizer."

        I think my family picked it up while living in Norfolk and Portsmouth over the past century +. They don’t use this vocabulary but they sound very similar. The only unique word I remember is “doohickey,” referring to any random object. Lol

        That's exactly where my dad's family is from! My great aunts lived in Portsmouth until their deaths in the late '90s. My grandmother moved to Bertie County, NC, with my grandpa, and that's where my dad grew up. They also spent the summers on Ocracoke Island.
