[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 177104, member: 237"] Kenny Coyote is right, we are in a big state and Dallas is the banking center, so the accent is more neutral in the city. Houston is the oil center (home of the Seven Sisters). Houstonians pride themselves as being "Good Ole Boys" and they speak with an intentional drawl in order to preserve their heritage. If you want to know what most of my friends sound like, find the ending to episode "Taste of Success" when Bobby buys the refinery. Both Sue Ellen and J.R. speak with the same exact accents as my Texas buddies: J.R. Do you know what Bobby did? Sue Ellen: Of course, Darlin. He opened Ewing 23. J.R.: Ewing 23? That's nothin'! He bought a [I]refinery[/I]! Sue Ellen: J.R., just calm down. J.R.: Calm down?! Don't you know what this means? Bobby did something I never could do. He bought a refinery! Sue Ellen: What are you goin to do? J.R. I'm gonna bring Bobby Down. I'm gonna cut him out. . . If I have to destroy Ewing Oil to do it. I can't upload it from my phone, but if you can find this scene (look up Youtube Dallas the Refinery) then you will hear both Linda Gray and Larry Hagman doing an accurate accent and sounding exactly like my buddies.
