I find that flying AH combat or doing anything related to aviation makes me and everyone else sound more Southern than they do in everyday life. It is a well-known phenomenon dating back to at least the '50s, known as the "Yeager effect".

I think its more like the way girls think they like country boys. What they like is that idea of a country boy; the strong, bare-chested guy that knows horses, lives way up in the woods, knows how to treat a woman right, and can f**k like a god.

But when you try to find that ideal in real life, you usually end up with some big husky guys who love their beer and look just god-awful without a shirt, may or may not know how to treat a woman correctly, usually stubborn and opinionated as hell, knows horses and tracks their s**t and mud all over the house, and lives on a ranch somewhere not up in the mountains.


You forget Surfinn, we KNOW you. We know you're the fat stubborn guy tracking horse s**t into the house  :neener:.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Have you noticed that about 80% of the americans who play AH sound like they just stepped off of the set of Hee-Haw? What's up with that?

yeah, its crazy how people from different places have different accents.

Nishi does the most accurate Brit impersonation. Sounds like a Londoner.

does Nishi sound like 'chip chip cherrie o' or "aaaaalllloooo Swwweettie,  hue from Saaaawouth Luuunden? Willesden per-apps? Dats a Crackin part of Luuunden if you ask me." (It isn't)

And then there are a variety of English accents variations all across the UK plus the Scotts and Irish.

In Canada, apart from Quebec with French accents (around 20 different dialects too), we have Newfoundlanders who have a strong accent of a mix of Irish and Gaelic dialects.   And those from the south prairies speak like they're from Fargo. But everyone else just speaks plain unaccented English.
