    I'm 72, born in Texas. I noticed right away that my relatives didn't speak like the Walter Cronkites on TV, so I chose, at age FIVE, to speak more like "the Columbia School of Broadcasting," than Grandma. I still get nailed for saying things like "see-ment," but basically, I succeeded.

      There have been studies that show that upwards of half of people with dyslexia can actually read and write cursive with little difficulty. Something about the letters being connected stops things from moving around. Last I read, we hadn't identified why or how the brain is processing the different print types but it's clear that a different part of the brain is being engaged when we encounter cursive.

    It’s not uncommon for those of us that leave the south or who have education past k-12 to drop the southern accents. That’s been happening since my oldest aunts generation(1930’s). If you don’t fit in growing up in the south the community can be very cruel and dropping the accent can be a way to distance yourself from your abusers.

    The "southern accent" was minor around the time of the civil war. There was less distinction between North and South. It's was believed to be a product of migration, isolationism, regionalism, and changes over time reinforcing the "southern accent". Colbert himself had a SC accent, which he worked to get rid of, I believe.

    I grew up in Georgia. When I moved to California at 18 in1979 I had a hard time understanding what people said because they talked so so fast and they had a hard time understanding me because I talked slow and had such a pronounced southern accent. I went back to visit 20 years later so many non-southerners had moved into the south it was hard to find locals with a southern accent. I think migration of people around the US plays a big role in homogenizing regional accents. My southern drawl slowly faded until it is only pops-out when I'm drunk or pissed :)

      Californians actually think they are the only ones without an accent. It's confusing if one learns speech there, as a kid, then moved to the east coast. However, I distinctly recall trying to small talk with a deep South person, way back long ago, as a kid, and couldn't understand a single word. sumpin bout June bugs......

      My husband's southern accent comes out when he talking to his mom and other family who still live in the south. I guess he still has it pretty thick still because ppl in drive throughs, etc cant understand him. I feel like i have to translate sometimes.

    I have to kinda agree that our generation is killing Southern accents. I (a southern born) have a very thick accent that I hide daily and unless you've seen me angry or tired, you'd never know I spell 'light' with a capital "I". I live in a region that is mainly northerners and have been forced to adjust because people assume I'm very red or ignorant. I've had people even accuse me of culture appropriation (I kid you not) by peers because of my accent. Over the years, I've found it easier to hide it than deal with it.

    A lot of people don't know that not only did Bob Odenkirk start off as a sketch comedian, but he actually started off as a sketch writer. He shared an office with Robert Smigel and Conan O'Brien while they were all staff writers at SNL, and both Bob Odenkirk and Robert Smigel would go on to write for Conan on Late Night in the 90s. While in Chicago, he also came up with the Motivational Speaker character with the late Chris Farley. I don't remember if Stephen and Bob Odenkirk every performed together while doing improv in Chicago.

      Ladies and gentlemen, if you watch the show you probably know that every night I spend most my time right over there assembling a team of the best comedy maritime engineers, using the most trusted science to mold the largest steel news stories ever created. Fashioning the immense comedic shell around it with the best of care. Inserting the thickest story windows. And filling the vessel with only the best scientists and scientific equipment right down to the last infotainment-itive detail, to give to you the centuries in the designing research Nautilus that is my monologue.
      But sometimes, just sometimes... I swipe a home-repaired game controller I used to use. Grab some expired carbon fiber out of an airliner's reject pile. Pick up the first plexiglass window I can find rated to half the target depth. Sandwich it between the most rigid heaps of metal via a moderate amount of epoxy. And trick some customers into becoming the unwitting crew of my doomed radio-controlled composite pressure cooker bomb that is my segment... MEANWHILE!
