This map is so false. Who comes up with this stuff? Somebody forgot to paint in all of Oklahoma and half of Florida

And a part of Maryland. 1ne 02:29, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this map is weird. Why would you cut out Charleston, SC, but not the rest of eastern SC? Also, why is Charleston so different that it's not SAE, but yet you could include Northern Virginia and West Texas as SAE? That doesn't make sense to me.

As a Florida Cracker I must say I'm also unhappy with this map. What I speak is certainly Southern, and not a northern accent that the tourists speak. - Zelyoniy 6:06 PM, 8 April 2008

And I'm a native Floridian who does NOT speak with any trace of a Southern accent at all. No "y'all", no "I" sounding like "ah", no drawl in any way at all. That's the norm in Florida, with the exception of the sparsely populated Panhandle and North Central areas, as indicated on this map. If you hear a Southern accent in St. Petersburg or Miami or Naples or Vero Beach, it's almost certainly a tourist from Alabama. "Florida Crackers" haven't been a majority (or even a sizable minority frankly) in Florida for decades upon decades.
