the Kentucky accent & dialect

[QUOTE=spookhorse;8092708]
There are better reasons not to move to Kentucky than accents! I’ve been trying to get out for nearly 20 years now…

I’m aware that many people move here and love it, but there are plenty of people who think they’ll love it and turn out to barely tolerate it. YMMV[/QUOTE]

We moved here a year and a half ago from SE Pennsylvania. I love it here. You won’t be able to pry me out of here. My husband would go back to SE PA and Delaware in a HEARTBEAT if we could afford the land back there. If that ever comes up, you can bet it’ll be all “Katie, bar the door” up in here. I ain’t movin! Of course, I have a southern accent, albeit a bit different than the southern accent here, and my husband def has a Philadelphia/Mid-Atlantic accent. He gets asked all the time, where you from. Me, not so much.

I loved being in KY as well. Alas, work took me away. I like IN but I do still miss KY.
