        My grandmother is from Georgia, her southern drawl makes me feel the warm Blakey sun inside and the smell of roasted peanuts cookin tickles my mind. Advice: teach her son to be himself - there will be people who love his drawl and have great memories of “making his acquaintance”

        It's not about the drawl. If he conducts himself as a gentleman in life, that drawl he may have will be a blessing and not a curse.

        As a northerner who lived in the South for a very long time... I think this train has left the station. I love the Southern dialect. I love that there even IS a dialect. It comes across to me as charming and sweet. Many progressive figures in the South have the accent.

        born & raised in Dallas, 50 yrs. i am college educated, worked in my career for 20+ yrs and now retired. I have a drawl. don’t believe I ever came across as anything other than intelligent when speaking. bottom line, dialects don’t matter, y’all.

        Sounds like she doesn’t feel at ease having a drawl or accent.

        accents don't settle down and set in until older, in teens, and when an accent is established, it is like a landmark, that sets anybody apart on the basis of where they are calling home during impressionable years,...in the UK keeping your own is valued more than a posh accent

        Even in the UK there is unconscious bias around certain accents. People are judged based on their accents. It is true of anywhere in the world

        Everybody favours their own accent unconsciously, and we can't help that, but there is no real reason to be biased against an accent that sounds less educated, or less valuable, since monetary wealth keeps its accent secret, ( not wanting display its natural negative bias)

        My Southern accent charmed my ex-Marine Brooklynite landlord enough to deeply discount the rent on my Brooklyn apartment for 8.5 years. Underestimate the power of a Southern accent to your own detriment, Y’ALL

        I so agree! I’m a great mediator and I use my accent to my advantage.

        Your son will be fine so long as he doesn’t judge people by their accents. This is a silly concern.

        I’ve realized that my accent becomes noticeably thicker when I either talk with one of my grandparents or I’m speaking with someone not from the south and/or has a northern or western accent.

        It absolutely is. I’m a New Orleanian happily exiled in CT for a time. When my adult son and Grandson visit, they are always complimented on their “Gentleman” ways.
