"Just because I talk slow doesn't mean I'm stupid!" - Sweet Home Alabama

Although this quote would be technically "better" to some people if it was "speak slowly", I think it's perfectly adorable and eloquent as it is.
And you can't imagine how much I love it.
As a resident of the South, I have the sort of accent that always draws the question "Where are you from?"
Sometimes kindly, sometimes condescendingly.

But what really bugs me is when people tell me that I need to change the way I talk, because I sound uneducated.

An accent CANNOT make someone seem uneducated. Only a lack of education can do that. Maybe I'm proud of where I'm from and I don't want to change, asshole.
