Language and Accents

I've a good head for grammar. I read it and write it well, and speak it well most of the time. I have noticed, however, that I often go all Ellie Mae Clampett.

For example, the other day at my PRN job, I was asked about my new part time job and if I minded not working full time. I said "I don't want no damn full time job! I want to sit my ass at the house all I can and work just enough to shut Chris up!"

Another time today, I was asked about the pizza that can be found at a local gas station (yes, a gas station) and I answered "I'll tell you what. They will flat give you $30 of pizza for your $20; that's how good it is."

Sorry, but does mean that is good pizza or bad pizza. I seem to think that gas station pizza is probably not very good,Like gas station bean burritos.

I often wonder what my accent is like, of course I never notice it.
